Past Events: Mt Evans, Primo Wall

Right now as far as competitions go it is kinda slow, this has allowed me to take a few breaks from away from gym training to go and do some outside climbing.  I went up to Mt Evans Area A with Al Lew for the first time ever and got to try some classics:  No more greener grasses and Clear blue skies.  No send but got close on Clear blue skies.   I did however get the send on the classic v8 Dali and "     " v10.  Pics to follow!

This past weekend went climbing at the Primo Wall in Clear Creek Canyon.   It was my first time there so I did not know what to expect.  I really enjoyed it short powerful climbs.  I came soooooooo close to sending Slice of Life 14a got the past the cruxes then literally froze off a mini jug two moves from anchors sooooo frustrating.  Most climbers like the cold but I hate it, Id rather have it 80's and sunny :).  Next time the sun is out and its warm Ill be back to send that thing.

That's all for now! ADJ

Europe Trip 2011

Well I finally sat down for more than a few seconds so that I could update this ol' blog thingy for everyone.  Over the summer I was lucky enough to explore Europe for a little over a month with my homies Josh Levin (fellow 5.10 athlete), Joe Gifford, and Nicholas Milburn.  Concluding my last SCS Youth Nationals in which I placed 2nd in after a very EPIC 12min long time on finals (haha if u were there u know), we booked it to Munich for a few days.  While in Munich I was able to go explore the Olympic Park and hang out at some festival right by the park which was crazy!

Big Up to Jansport for providing the bags for my trip to Europe, they held up amazing!

After Munich we headed on over to Arco Italy where the Arco World Championships were being held and which I was competing in Bouldering, Sport, Speed and Team Speed.

I had a blast in Arco, by far the most climber friendly place I have ever been to.  Literally a climbing shop every ten feet, it was ridiculously awesome!

Castle that was closed after we hiked all the way up this super longggg hill. (apparently there was a sign at the bottom that said it was closed) oops lol

Crazy rooster at top of long hill 

Super Model show that me and Joe Gifford got sidetracked by on our way to Finals and ended up watching instead haha

Ceuse

Following Arco nest stop was Ceuse France.   To be honest I was not too psyched on the hike up lol as I am not the biggest fan of hiking but the climbing was definitely worth the long grueling hike up (after a nice long nap of course haha).  Sadly it was raining the next day at Ceuse so we decided to host a mini comp at the little wall that they had at the camp ground near the bottom of the wall.

Briancon

After Ceuse was Briancon, France where my second Sport World Cup that I was going to compete in was taking place.  I placed a solid --- at the event.  These blokes are super duper strong, let me tell you lol.  I had a blast though climbing with all the legends of rock that I see on the comp killing it all the time. 

This is what happens of you dont make finals haha

Super sketchy free solo of an old castle at least 35ft, thankfully I had 5.10 on :)

Huge sucker

Rodellar

Next stop was Rodellar Spain!!!! Rodellar was amazing!!!  We spent nearly two weeks here and I loved every second of it.  Tufas, kneebars and drop knees galore, climbers paradise.  It was here that I sent my first 8c "Welcome to Tijuana" and 8b+ "El Chorreras".  Cannot wait to go back!
