Yay horray, it went!

I had the great pleasure of knocking off one of my current projects today!


Turning Point!

It was UGLY, thrutchy, and mostly accomplished by try-hard, but it felt GREAT to stand on top. Definitely the hardest thing I've done since coming back from the blown up finger.

PSYCHED!

In related news, diggs sent a small project of hers just below turning point right before!

WOAH double send day!
Nice work diggs!

Soulja Boy Dyno (project)

That's right. A groundbreaking new Dyno project has been discovered in the famous Satellite bouldering area of the flatirons.

However, this news will have to wait. Why? you might ask.
Because Steph Marvez SENT HER FREAKING PROJ, THAT'S WHY!

Yes, that is correct. She took down Captain Hook in good style.

Smooth as butter sliding across glass on a velvet counter top.

CONGRATULATIONS STEPHERMIE!
Ok, back to the Dyno. A talented young Zissou...ahem, I mean climber named Rylan envisioned this new exhibition of human fitness.
Unfortunately, he was unable to complete the line. He felt it should not be bolted and brought down to a "jaegerian" level...if you will.

It should be saved for the next generation, and it should be finished in Rylan's preferred style. (balls out, no pro, gnar gnar, i'm in the mags, Badass style) This line is for a new level of climber the world has yet to even think possible.
Though it has seen another couple suitors, no one has come closer than Lukas (the lady-slayer) Hardman.
Lukas gave several efforts over what...maybe ten minutes?
However, he used a technique previously thought impossible.

He hucked his gul-dum meat at that shit like there was no fricking tomorrow.
Many have argued that he is the chris sharma to rylan's boone speed.

Many have speculated that he is the mutant offspring of Superman and Jesse James' sister. 100% strongmo, 1brazilion% of the time.

However the line did not accept his advances. He came close. Closer than most will ever hope. Close enough even to say; "just the tip. just for a second. just to see how it felt."


Is the there an individual equal to the level this line represents?

Time will tell.
This is just a photo of me standing around making excuses for not sending Purity Control.

Who know diaper butt could be so sexy?

More Satellites Postingness

Lots of the crew made it out to the Satellites in the Flatirons this Saturday for crushing and general hanging outs.


It was absolutely GOING OFF at Captain Hook. Here Danny, the tripod, McCrushman is cruising through the opening moves.
Adam McKenzie was on hand as well to demonstrate "how its done". Lucas was in attendance and making good progress on this line. Between taking burns with the light reflector, Asher managed to catch this sick shot. V10 climber and photographer!
Owen staring the tick down getting ready to kick it's face!
Me flailing helplessly. I would really like to come up here and spend some more time with this thing, but turning point was priority and I was not to be deterred.
This is the sequence of photos that were not published on Danny's Blog. I would encourage him to post them up, as these are on the washed out side and I would like to see his.

Steph working Captain Hook and coming so close to sending it hurts:
Our camera was put away at this point and the pros took over. To see more of this session and shenanigans, head over to Danny's Blog for realz. It's worth it.

Satellite Boulders

Following a quick after-work nap on Sunday, diggs and I headed up to Boulder to meet up with friends and enjoy a sesh at the Satellite Boulders.

Turning point is now added to the project list. It is a pretty line (though admittedly dirt burglar and es-stupid) and I can't wait for a chance to try it when it is not totally seeping.
Flannimal had a good day. She knocked off Captain Hook and spent some time working Flesh Fest. BElkon also put in some good burns on Flesh Fest and seemed to be making progress.
Sarah and Kristen fought with this slabby devil for a bit but were not able to figure it out.
I didn't try it, but the girls both said that it felt like you were putting 200 lbs of force on your left foot to start. Ouchies.
Definitely a cool area, and I'm psyched to go back and give Turning Point some attention now that the finger is feeling better.

More From Carter:

I'm always injured during Carter season and I'm so jealous.


Kristen has started wrasslin' the Big Kahuna. She's making progress!
The treacherous youth movement is in full effect. Asher made short work of Kahuna. All those spotters for nothing. So sad.
NICE SEND DOOD! Ahh yes. More shenanigans on the rock throwing front. Here, Steph and Diggs are pillars of strength while Asher tries to launch a rock at something.
I believe this to be the work of the evil-chuck in the picture who is whispering direction. And what were they aiming at?
I can only guess: Horray climbing. Horray snowboarding whiplash preventing you from gym climbing! Snow sliding session with Jaeger-dad ends in ouchies. For realz.

Throwing like a girl...

Clearly, chuck has tossed some eggs at houses and lemons at little kids in his time.

It's a textbook throw. Feet shoulder width apart, arms balanced, and focus on target.
I'm sure the analysts at sports-center would agree that Digg's delivery is a little... ahem... nontraditional. She looks like she's about to stab Nelson (below) in the head with an invisible knife not toss a stone into the sunset. I'm not even sure where to start with this one Steph.
It's almost like that nightmare I had where Randy Johnson (look it up) was throwing cups of J-E-L-L-O at nursing home staff while trying to climb the couch and relive the "glory days".
And are those eyes closed!?! Sadly enough, I couldn't throw further than either of them.
At least I have a spot on the Rockies roster if I can shoulder the shame.

See what I mean?!?

This is the picture we were discussing at dinner last night.

See what I was saying about the suspenders?
Oh, and I'm sure Diggs would want you to notice that SWEET bandanna and binocular set that her sister is sporting!

Gotta love the little letters on her shirt as well!

I'll have to see if I can dig up some embarrassing pics of me as well.
