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! :)

J-Tree Highlights 

Here are some Joshua Tree highlights I had when we were there. Just had a supper fun past two weeks with my Dad and are friend Will. We went to Joshua Tree for one week, then came back up to Bishop and climbed there for one week. It was really nice to see some family and meet new people. Cant wait to go back there :)  Enjoy the pics. 


This was a sweet v0 arete climb up this really nice boulder. It felt pretty hard for v0 but it was early in the morning and it was the warm up. But really fun. 




These next photos are of a  climb called EBGB's. This is was a big one for me, took a lot of focus and time. And at some spots it was a little hard to keep my cool. EBGB is a technical face slab climb that starts on a boulder perched on top of a cliff. So once you get on it you feel really exposed. 


Clipping the second bolt. That felt good.  
Here you can see what I mean by some exposure. It feels tall when your up there. 


Getting closer to the top slowly. It took almost twenty minutes to climb the route because the feet and hand holds were so small and sloppy. 

At the top here setting up the anchor. 



Really pretty boulder problem Dad and I found while we went on a adventure one evening. 


Theres will Summiting this big rocky hill, probably around 300 feet tall. 

Dad and I coming up.

Some nice group shots. That Ben on the right Dad in the middle and me on the left.
