This blog is intended to motivate and show you what everyone can do to enjoy the outdoors. There is so much more to life then what society gives, and the peace and happiness you find outside is so much more pure and real then the man-made life styles lots of us are tied into these days. Not saying its bad part of the man-made life style, but it really is good for the mind and body to feel the natural part of life as well. Just saying; take advantage of what you have around you that is natural and naturally beautiful and you will feel so much more alive and happy! :)

Hello!!! If anyone is following lately sorry for not posting anything so far. But here is my first post of my trip! Everything is going well, getting used to the camp life. I have meet some really cool people, and have had some spectacular climbing days!!
Currently I am at Smith Rocks Oregon. It is soooo beautiful and warm, its been sunny and 70 degrees everyday so far. Cold at night, like high 20s and low 30s. Froze the first night but now Im using my -30 degree sleeping bag. its nice and warm :)
Here are some pics of Smith Rocks so far.

This is the Smith Rock camp site, really nice 5 dollars a night including parking showers. Great vibs here everyone is nice and there are tones of really good climbers. 

This is the Lower Gorge, super nice rock here, its called Bisalt or something, anyway really cool climbing because there arnt may holds and like no feet. It really makes you think about your tecneaque.  

These are the two awesome people I met! Shana and John. They are both awesome climbers and stay at the Smith Rocks camp. Really cool people to hang with and climb with, they are very supportave and climb because they love it which is really great. 


Shana on Trad. lead, this is a 5.10b forgot the name though. but really nice climb. 


This is John on Bad Finger a 5.10d I think. His hardest Trad. climb to date! Great work John.


Theres me on White Trash a 5.12a and I Onsighted it!! which is my hardest Onsight to date (Onsight = First Try).  SOOO stoked!

This is White Trash also, little rest spot and then on to the second crux which is not physicly hard but mentaly hard because your really close to the end and dont want to blow it. This route is a full 30 meters of climbing so your on the wall for like 10 minutes. 


Yesterday, I almost onsighted a 5.12b but fell at the last bold :( heart breaker.. but ill get it next time I go to the Gorge.
Such a good climb very physical. Compression moves up this blocky collum. My new proj.
