Seagull Story Video

It's been about a week since I finished editing what will likely by the last Red Rock video in a while. Lib and I have been working hard to recoup the funds spent over the past nine months on the road. When I'm not shooting weddings downtown I've been focusing on training in the gym, specifically in areas where I'm lacking (finger/contact strength on/off of small holds). I love training to begin with, and the fact that I've been away from the gym for so long has given me added motivation to reach some personal short and long-term goals.

To bring this post back on track I don't have any of my own videos to share with you so I thought I would share an Origin Video of a company that I fully support and admire.

Check out some of the most incredible custom embroidery on the market here, including a Starry Night homage. Starry Night on a courier bag!

Margin of Error First Ascent Video

This morning I finished cutting together a week's worth of projecting (read: fail) footage into this six minute video. I don't have much to say about this line that isn't expressed in the footage. It took me a long time to finish and became a very personal and emotional endeavor. No boulderer is a stranger to these feelings, and like a lot of other people it is one of the primary reasons I climb.

I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions as to the whereabouts or otherwise I've posted the location of the boulder in the Vimeo description or feel free to comment below.

Red Rocks - A Few New Boulders Video

Hey everyone! The lack of posts this month has been pretty lame on my part, but I swear I've been busy. Shooting weddings here in Vegas is a crazy job and the work has been anything but slow.

Here's a longer video of a few new boulders, variations, and sit starts in the scenic loop that Lib and I have cleaned and finished over the past couple weeks. I've included a list of problems and their place in the video, but if you have the time watch the whole thing because there are some hilarious rock breakages in slow motion. Also if you'd like to know any further or more detailed beta on the whereabouts of these lines feel free to shoot me a message on vimeo or leave a comment below.

As usual the grades are just our best guess.

Problems in order of appearance:

(0:12) Blackbeard's Delight V8/9
