Little Van is pulling down

Just got back from St. George and Vegas, I thought I would throw this up for Kim and Zack.

Ski Day

We had a fun Hosenfeld ski day on Saturday at Park City.

It has been such a beautiful winter, that I am actually enjoying the season.

Message from Mexico

El Potrero Chico

Just got back from Mexico with Jason. It was super sweet! Here are a few of the highlights from the trip. I didn't take tons of photos because it was just him and me most of the time so we had to belay but oh well.
Not a 12a. We thought it was and found out later that it was 12c. We were worried for a minute that we had turned way week all the sudden. So that made us feel better.That's right, right out of the tent door of our camp.
This is us on top of the route Time Wave Zero. This was a 21 pitch 12a, well there was only one 12a pitch on pitch 20 and the rest was 5.10 with the occasional 5.11. It was rad to do something this big this fast.
Our feet hurt the next day but Jason's feel were tweaked out, yes that is a triple blister, I didn't know they could do that on top of each other.
Ron Rob Ramboni sending big on Surfa Rosa (13a), We tried it a bit on the last day of our trip. Look how rad those holds are!! This was the best route we got on in our week for sure.

This is rad

I found this from a few months ago and thought it was rad.

OK, I've got a one track mind

no! not sex! So we just got back from Red Rocks. In case you are wondering we rocked it. We were totally sick but it was still rad. Also, it was awesome to eat at the best Thia food in the US, definitely the highlight.

This route is super rad, and not too hard.


Yes, also a most premium 13a, even though you have to perch and lock off.


Yeah, I'm not good at perching or locking off, but I touched it.


OK, so what do you see? It's definitively a rabbit chasing a bird.

Horray for Ouray

Here are some pics from our 5th annual trip to Ouray over the long New Year's weekend. It was a great trip of soaking at the hot springs, speed scrabble (sounds pretty geeky but it was fun), skiing, ice climbing, freezing temperatures, fireworks, being a bunch of nerds with MacBooks, and of course no trip would be complete without something going wrong and some kind of drama. This year was a car accident. Good thing no one was hurt though.
Good Times. . . .

Chris showing his mad skills

An intense moment with Jared

Probably the only picture of Casey ice climbing. Poor Casey, always taking the superb photos but never being in any.

These two photos are of me on my favorite route. Super long but easy. I love ice climbing because you feel like such a bad ass when you are doing it even if it's not that hard.

I love my big puffy down coat (and of course Casey too!) I think I have on six layers in this picture. It was the coldest trip we have had so far.

Silverton

Steep shoots, -4 deg F, and hiking at 13,300'. It was a great day of freezing and hiking and skiing. Tomorrow is going to be a sweet day of ice, but tonight we are rocking it big time, or I mean, I can barley move.

First Ice climb of the Year

Check it out, Scott still ice climbs! This is us on the middle ledge on the great white. A few days latter me and my bro Corey went and did it again. That is what the images bellow are.

This is the last 10' of the route. Not bad..... the part right bellow this is sometimes a verticle free hanging curin of ice at the top of the 800' climb. It is really pretty, and not really hard but just fun. The best part of the whole thing was the desent. We slid down the whole route in the gully just west of the climb. It makes the whole route!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Casey had the opportunity to be Santa and deliver presents to two families this Christmas. He made a perfect jolly Santa. He always has fun messing with kids, and this was no exception.

New year, new calandar

I just wanted to put up these images for a sneak peek of Alisa's mom's calendar.

The Big Five

What's up! Just got back from Vegas baby and it was super sweet! It was our 5 year and we had a good ol' time. We went to Belaggio and ate a great super buffet. I think we had together 12 plates of king crab and 2 bites of every dessert they had.

Also we went to Red Rocks and rocked it big time. That's where these pictures were from. I haven't been there since 97' right after the ol' mission so it was fun to go back. It was a little bit chilly to do long routes so we did short routes and basked in the sun. I really had fun and it was rad to just hang out with Alisa all weekend. I really have a fun and awesome wife. I love how immature we still act after 5 years. We are getting excited for New Years. It will be the 5th annual Ouray Colorado ice climbing trip. Lets hope it snows like crazy so we can ski Silverton while we are out there!

More from St. George

Good trip with the Bucc's! They both sent super sick routes! I didn't get any of Scott on the Waltz but it was still sweet!

This could be their Christmas card photo


The day projects become warm-ups.

The best 5.11- ever!

Trip to St. George

Just got back from St. George with the Buccs.
We did some sweet routes and had some perfect weather.

Casey gets sooo into belaying. He forgets to keep his hands
on the belay device and breaking rope at all time.

This is me on a 5.13C. Alright, so I am top roping a 5.11A.
I'm not hardcore but I'm okay with that. I still have fun.
I did spent a lot of the trip reading
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
I'm addicted and I will not stop until I 'm all caught up!

Highlights of Southeast Asia

Jared, Nanette and I went to Southeast Asia over the summer
so here are a few pics from our trip.

Southern Thailand
Anyone up for a climbing trip?
Beautiful beaches, beautiful cliffs. What else could you ask for?

Halong Bay Vietnam
People actually live in this floating town.
Don't drink the water . . .

Ta Prohm temple in Angkor, Cambodia

Do all American tourists turn creepy after a while?

Khoung-Sy Waterfall, Loas
One of the most beautiful places of the trip.

You get to pick your own snake before you eat it!
now that's fresh eatin'
No, but really this was the best $0.25 I was tricked into spending.
