Day 1 - Hobbit Book
“We’re at about 3,093 meters,” Jeremy said. The numbers didn’t really register, we were on top of Mariuolumne Dome having just finished the multipitch climb, Hobbit Book (5.7R). Jeremy added, “that’s over 10,000 feet, the highest I’ve ever done actual rockclimbing”. This was coming from a guy who was not a [...]

A Girl’s Gotta Pee - FUDs Review - Freshette and GoGirl
FUD. Feminine Urinary Director. Lovely sounding isn’t it? Squeamish guys and any male relative of mine, you can stop reading now.
So what does it do? Well it’s a way girls can stand up to pee. Writing your name in snow? Inconclusive.
Before my Indian Creek / Desert Climbing Road trip I decided to try out the [...]

Moab, Utah - Day 5 of our Desert Climbing Road Trip
We had been given a detailed Google Map showing a scenic route from Zion to Indian Creek but decided to take the more direct route of using the 70 most of the way to Moab. It turns out this way was more scenic than we [...]
Desert Climbing Road Trip - Part 1 - Red Rocks and Zion
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
“It’s snowing,” a woman to my right called out. I smiled, thinking, “Aha! There’s another climber who showers folks with a light dusting of chalk!”
Then I saw the white flakes floating from the sky. They melted a moment later on my face and hands. What!?! We were in the Nevada [...]
Joshua Tree Weekends
This spring I’ve been heading out to Joshua Tree for more weekend only trips than ever before. So far it’s turned out great and we’ve been able to climb with different groups of friends (and crash their campsites).
I’m not caught up in terms of posting pics but here’s a video I made of the weekend [...]

Red Rocks, Nevada #RRtweetup Climbing Trip April 2010
Sometimes the weather forecast lies.
I looked at my calendar and the bright red rectangular banner that said “Red Rocks Tweetup Trip” it had changed a bit, gotten longer, gotten shorter, had names added, removed and added again; but it had been there for a while.
I looked at the weather report. Rain it said. Rain in [...]
Yosemite Half Dome Hikers Need a Permit
Yosemite National Park has moved to a permit system for hikers going up Half Dome on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and holidays while the cables are up. Rockclimbers going up a technical route and not entering the subdome area will not need permits to descend. Backpackers will receive a permit as part of their Wilderness [...]
#JtreeTweetup - Gunsmoke Video Mix
I made a mix of video Luke, Lizzy and I took with my Flip MinoHD at Gunsmoke. The music was provided by Flip so sorry if it’s a little repetitious. It’s currently not in HD as the full file was over a gig in size and Vimeo (even the Pro version) wouldn’t take it. I’ll [...]
