Huecos in New York!

I couldn’t believe it when I saw the boulders for the first time. I drove the 2.5 hours from my parents lake house on Kasoag Lake to Snowy Mountain; in the heart of Adirondack Park. I had heard from other climbers, time and time again: “You gotta get up to Snow Mountain, man! The rocks have crazy huecoed features!” I saw it. And I went. Every bit of my whimsical, climber-wet-dream-fantasy was realized.

Unified Bouldering Comp=Awesome Sharma Video

Nine Cornered Lake!

The first problem was an onsight. Thus my long, slow, ‘tard-like top out. Things were literally crumbling as I was pulling over the lip. A few weekends ago I was at beautiful Nine Cornered Lake. Its probably one of the most aesthetic places to climb I’ve ever been to. Right next to the main bouldering [...]

I feel like I’m climbing in circles

Well…the rain came back. Just as I was falling back in love with my favorite bouldering areas. It’s o.k. because I have a back-up spot. An all weather roof of gneiss! Thats right. It’s pretty damn awesome. Shown in the video is me, making a loop out of Chimney Left and Chimney Right.

Real rock feels good…

I spent the last couple days reacquainting myself with the great outdoors. Day 1 was Ice Pond and it was ridonkulously beautiful and sunny. My body was confused because I was climbing outside, but I wasn’t wearing 90 layers. I made a quick little video of a couple of random boulders I came across.  As [...]
