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! :)

Hola People! Hope everyone is have a good time this Rocktober, its been great in Oregon! 

Been climbing lots lots lots! And each day I have been sending new projects. Been busy life but at the same time very calming since all I do is climb all day! haha. I get up at 7:00 right as the sun comes up, eat my granola with Greek Yogurt ( which is now my favorite breakfast meal! SOOO GOOD. You must try, and get some good granola from the Fred Meyer bulk section), then I pack my rope, draws, and shoes and head to the cliffs by 8:30-9:00 and climb till 6-7:00. Sleep and do it again. 

It feels like I should be doing a little more, im not used to not working. But for now im gunna enjoy it and be a climber bum! haha. 
Here is a pic of my swollen ankle...  it hurts and im not quite sure what I did to it.
I hope it gets better. For now im going to listen to my parents and rest..

These are some pictures I took of Shana. She's crushin here, just passed through the crux of this bouldery 5.11b.
Think its call Blue Light. Beautiful peace of rock, slopers and patina crimps. 



Here is a picture of the whole route, and the route next to it. The route next to Shana's is a 5.12b called Liquid Jade.
I really like the name, and the route is very technical and the crux is really cool! From a nasty slopy crimp to a gastone then up to more sloper crimps. Im gunna try it when my ankle is better. 

These next pictures are some of the high ball bouldering that is right by the camp! really cool problems, some of the rock is HQ but some is choss. Fun stuff though.



Ahhh.. :) theres a good view of the Smith Rock main area, directly in the middle are the dihedrals which have the most spectacular dead vertical walls with pockets and crimps. Its amazing how they formed like that. Better view on the picture below. 

To the right are the dihedrals, if you look close you can see people on the walls. Look like ants from where I am standing. 


Sunset in the camp, it was a nice night.
