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! :)

Sooo Yesterday I need a rest-day... I was hella sore from the this week of sport climbing. Iv been climbing a lot... I mean a lot, a lot. Like 5-7 days on and one day off.. Its kinda agents my ethics because I know the only way to get stronger is to rest. But since Im leaving Bishop soon, I might as well go all out.  But any way yesterday was a "rest-day" sorta haha, I went bouldering at a new spot where it was very quite and pretty. I just did some easy and spectacular problems. One of them is called The Green Hornet. It its by far one of the best v4s I have ever climbed! Its tall, has beyond perfect rock, and climbs up the center of the wall at its tallest point. Its like God made this problem for himself haha. Its beautiful! 

Well check em out. 

Thought this was pretty so I took a pic. I like all the weird and abstract shapes of the boulders. 

Well the pics are out of order again... I can never get them to say in order. But this is the Green Hornet. 

The first move, Its a slab which means its not dead vertical but very close to it. 

There are a lot of high feet and big reaches. Im glad I practiced yoga for a while before this trip because with out being able to do high steps, I would not get a lot of the climbs done. Haha you gotta be flexable to climb at the Buttermilks! 

Pic of me, Boulders in the background! Kinda nice eh? 

The Boulders I was climbing on. 

Ha NINJA!!! I bailed from the top here! It kinda hurt my ankle. But I finished it up .

Getting close to the top here, its scary up there. doesnt look that high but its close to fifteen feet. like with out a crash pad, you would totally brake an ankle. 



I like this one, I have a app on my phone where I can add effects and stuff to the pictures. 


Scoping the problem out, lookin where my feet are going to go. The feet are micro small. It was really hard to trust them.. 

This is nice to, I can change the contrast and everything on that app. It really makes the boulder easyer to see. 

This was a nice v3 called Small Fruit, The boulder look like a pair or banana. It was cool :0 

Wolly Bugger again, I added some effects to this pic to. Thought it look nice. 

Aurora! Man Im so psyched on this route! it is amazing, when I come back to Bishop, im soooo going to send this route!! 

Another pic of Wolly. 5.12d!! at least I got this done, it is deff. the highlight of my trip.

I mean its on the cover of the guide book! hahaha. Not to brag or anything but im pumped on that route. dint even think i was capable of doing those moves.!

Kinda Out of order... 

Hello people! How is everyone?? Hope everything is great!
My photos for this post are slightly out of order.. Sorry. 

Enjoy these pictures of the past week, some are from yesterday some are from the day before.  

This is a picture of Crowley one of my best friends iv meet on this trip. This is taken at the upper section of the Gorge. Cool Picture I think. 

This is me on a route called Flex Your Head. 5.11c. Technical and thin, Just the way I like it! 

This is a friend named Cristian, he is climbing this really cool Arete, dont know the name but it sure is beautiful. 

THis is the Great Wall of China, one of the biggest walls in the Gorge. You can see the people down at the bottom. This wall is close to 300 feet tall!

This is the Solarium Wall. The tower to the right has some of the sickest routes on it, including on of the best 5.12s iv climbed called Black Whole! its so sick. It climbs up the shaded area on the far right tower. Super long, a full 35 meters. 

Crowley again. Hiking through the gorge. 

These next few pics are of my friend Jen on a rout called Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Its a16 bolts and it is 40+ meters long, you need to do a double rappel to get off of it. 


Here she is only half way, and you cant even see the ground! 


I like this one, added some effects to it. Looks cool.


This is a pic of the Towering Inferno, Its 5 pitches of 5.11. Hope I can find someone to climb it with me before I leave. 
These next pics are of a route called Aurora!!! It is a 5.13a, the hardest thing I have ever tried on a rope. It is such a beautiful climb and has some of the most killer moves. It climbs up a golden head wall and is one of the tallest routes in the area. So when your climbing it you feel like your on top of the world! ITS GREAT!! d




Just getting on the head wall, you can see here it starts to get really steep! 



Some Black and White editing.. 


This is Wolly Bugger 5.12d my hardest climb to date. and my favorite climb to date. I mentioned it in my last post I think. 


Ha here is me in the coffee shop, took this one for my Ma. :)  
My car... I Broke the window.. Im not going to say how because its quite imbarissing. 

Wolly Bugger. 


Crowley on a sweet 5.9. 












Well thats it for pics for now, more coming soon. Always more.. haha. Hope you guys are not getting board... if you have any comments or requests just tell me. 
Thanks for lookin at the blog, means a lot to me knowing that people are interested in it. :))))) 

Love Love Love

More Pics!!!
Sorry people for not updating my blog in a bit. Its been a stressful past few week, my car broke down and I have been stuck at the Pit for week!! The Pit is a campground for 2 dollars a night and it really is just a big pit of sand... its not very pretty! But now my car is fixed and im it feels good to not have to rely on everyone for rides! 

But... I have been climbing a lot and have done the hardest and most memorable climbs of my life this past few weeks so I cant complain. Check out the photos!!! 
These Next few pictures are of my friend Crowley on a awesome 5.10. It might be the best 5.10a in the gorge. Maybe... There are a lot of good ones!


There is Crowley on lead. This guy is awesome, he just started climbing and he is leading 5.10!!! Im hella stoked for him. 

Crowley clippin the first bolt! 



Guinn warming up. 


This is Cardinal Peak. Its four pitches of 5.10a and we did the first pitch but got shut down due to to much snow... But maybe in the summer I will go back. 


This is a 5.10d crack that we all climbed! super fun. 


Scoping out the route.



THis is Flex Your Head a 5.11c, Its sooooo good. The foot work really makes you flex your head haha. One of the best climbs in the upper gorge! 

Crowley hiking out of the gorge! supper cool place to explore. 

My friend Amy on a rout called Gorgeous Arete. It really is gorgeous... This is also a great 5.10a. thats the great part about the Gorge, there are so many classic routes in the 5.10-5.12 range, you could climb there for life! 

Ahhh... Well folks, these next few pictures are of my personal favorite climb I have ever climbed in my life!!! Its called Wolly Bugger 5.12d. Its over 100 feet and has the coolest features. It climbs up this overhanging Arete and then tops out on a technical slab! Its crazy cool. 

A few photos I tagged together. 


I really like this one, this is right before the crux! 





This is also a great shot, you can see the exposure of the route and how tall it is, and that is only the half way point!
