As Lizzy has already posted, she will be gone for the next three weeks leaving me scrambling to find climbing partners. Since moving to California last June Lizzy has been my main climbing partner and we try to climb just about every weekend. Sometime school intervenes or the California winter throws a bit of rain [...]

Sometimes, there are things other than rock climbing that happen in our lives. I am about to experience one of these things. Starting Friday, I will be out in the desert for 3 weeks for Caltech’s field camp, a pretty standard experience for geology students that involves going out into the field, walking around a [...]
Surprisingly enough, Luke and I seem to be in similar places with our climbing right now. Neither of us is really climbing as hard as we could because we are limiting ourselves by what we think we can do and what we think is safe. Although it can be frustrating to be in this position, [...]

It seems that lot of people enjoy my last list of blog posts. Since outdoors types rarely post multiple times per day I can keep up with a pretty sizable number of outdoor blogs. You can subscribe directly to all of these or through my feed of them. For the OutdoorNews list at the bottom [...]

Because none of the blackberries were ripe! What crap! Well, I’ve returned from a very brief excursion to Squamish with my sister Maddy. Despite the shortness of our visit, I think we managed to make good use of our time. We left Poulsbo early Thursday afternoon, reaching Squamish a little after 7pm after encountering some [...]
It was another crazy, eye-opening excursion to Mt. Charleston. We left San Diego on Thursday, set up our tent in Hilltop campground (this time, the slightly less awesome site 27), and passed out. View from the alpine woods of Mt. Charleston down into the Nevada desert. On Friday morning, we headed to The Hood, which [...]
So I’m sitting at Luke’s house, biding my time while my flappers from the gym soak in several coatings of J-Tree Salve (owww). It is the perfect time to enjoy all the wonderful things the internet has to offer, which surprisingly includes this item that is completely unrelated to rock climbing. Enjoy!

It was a short (the 2-day version), but successful weekend. Luke came to Pasadena on Friday night and we awoke early on Saturday morning to pick up Lukasz and Eli and head out to the Quarry. We arrived about the same time as Stein and the San Diego crew from Vertical Hold, although we ended [...]
