I few weeks ago, I finally made it out to CT for some super-secret bouldering. Yep, the Master Bedroom is still more badass, but BRad is sick, for sure. Glad I can finally put the kabosh on that little debate. Over the next week, I’m going to hit Farley, Gunks, maybe IP, and the big [...]

Climbing…Fuck, its awesome. Especially when watching the journey of struggle and success. It never gets old. And it doesnt even have to do with the grade. Ever watch a newbie battle to the death on a v2? Its often times one of the more dynamic theatrical events. Life’s obstacles incarnated. In this case, the grade is v11, and a powerful one at that.
New England / New York have been blessed with weekends full of sunshine, and we’ve been taking advantage of it. EC has been through the ‘Dacks, Western MA, Rumney, and spent some considerable time in the Gunks. Nick even did the summer bouldering comp at MPHC on a rainy weekend, where he flailed onto chalk bags, and was out-climbed by numerous women…

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 [...]

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.
I’ve spent most of my climbing life in a little known bouldering area called the Master Bedroom. It’s a huge cave that boasts over a half a dozen double digit problems! Oh yeah! Its big and burly. Pure power problems. Its where climbers go to get bitch slapped by rock. I like to go here [...]
