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! :)

This morning was exciting.. 
So this morning, I went to Rock Creak. Really cool place like literally, it was freakin cold! 
Haha I know that was a lame joke but it was really cold up there. And right when I started climbing it started snowing.. But I managed to get a climb in and try some hard stuff. 

I got on two problems. The first was called Grove and Arete v4. Grove and Arete might just be the best v4 I have ever been on. Its not sharp, its got really unique features. And its an arete! Who doesn't like arete climbing? Then I got on A Boy Named Sue v7 and that dint go so well.. haha I was to cold and my fingers hurt. So I gave up on that. But here are pics of Grove and Arete! 

Start move is really fun. You have a really cool right hand side pull with a nice thumb catch, and left hand on the arete, then you make a big move up the arete. 

Here is the coolest move on the climb! from the position im in now you make a huge move to a really good crimp (the Picture below). 

And Bam..! once you stick the crimp its pretty much over. 


Reach for the lip. 

And pull over :) Classic!
Oh and BTW did you guys see the beautiful Aspen Tree forest? The setting for rock creak was really great because your in this pretty forest, theres a clear creak near by, there are boulders all over the place, and the mountains are really close by. Plus I was the only one there! But I found out why, its way colder up there then in the main Bishop area.
But I still had fun and now I know how good it is there so I will deff.  be going back.

  1. Yes, the aspen trees are pretty. Where is the Creek? I see, there's quite a bit of snow on the mountains.

    How are you feeling today? Do you still have the flue-feeling? Take care of yourself.

    Love you.
