News Dump

In attempt to make up for the lack of posts lately, I thought maybe it would be appropriate to showcase the reason for my lethargy.

CLIMBING LIKE THERE AIN'T NO TOMORROW KIDS!
John has been killing it on the bouldering front lately! Quick ascents of several high end moderates have only fueled the fire! Here he chucks a lap on Ghost Dance.
Diggs has also been dancing with the specter lately. She's made steady progress and will likely send this freaking thing soon! Go Diggs! Brewer accompanied us on one of the camping trips to lovely Guanella Pass. Here, the bishes watch Thomas warm up in attempt for his project. Can't you just feel the excitement!
"Mind Matters" is no joke. Upon first seeing this problem, I didn't think any sane person would try to boulder it out. Sure enough, Thomas is no sane person so my theory stands. This line has received some attention lately due to it's rumored appearance in "Rocky Mountain Highball". I can't wait to see Thomas send this thing!
Several clowns lately have become interested in the "steppin razors" line on the Dark Horse boulder. Understandably so. It's tall, fun moves, and a proud send. Diggs about to enter the crux:
Thomas took a quick lap on the problem for lack of any delos to punch.
Did you know Matt Chibotti has the biggest mouth of any kid we know? He CRUSHED me and the Delo in a game of chubby bunny. 7 mallows kids. Doesn't sound like a lot? Try it and see.
Unfortunately, flu like symptoms developed quickly afterward.
Thomas wants everyone to know that he found a Columbine flower while bouldering at Guanella. If that doesn't do it for you, the WICKED 80s DU shirt should!
Alexa strutting her stuff on Steppin Razor. It took 2 sessions, but she put this beast to bed in good style. Congratulations PITA!
It is astonishing to me that anyone could flash the line. However, it saw back to back flashes as Matt Chibotti and Bec attacked with some try-hard! It took me 2 sessions and I'm still not sure I could do it reliably! GOOD CLIMBING KIDS!
Kristen is in need of some new shoes. This line at the main cluster has given her fits. She is so close to sending, it hurts ME. The terrible feet could easily be blamed. But no, she marches on and is psyched for when it will go.
Thomas Betterton. I think the might be transforming to "Eat your face" mode, but I could be completely off base with that one.
As usual, Marcelo is doing sit starts to warm-ups with perfectly good stand starts. V2 turned v5 anyone? OOOOHHHH OOOOOHHHHH PICK ME!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of climbing, lots of hanging outs and lots of laughs have made these past few weeks simply amazing! I look forward to the summer shenanigans that haven't even been dreamed up yet. Thank you all for being so cool and climbing hard like woah! Totally inspiring.
See you all out there!

Are all of these things at Guenella? I need to take a trip there sometime. Maybe I'll send some pics of our time at Mt. Evans on Sunday if you like.
