South Sound Pull Down III

Cool...That's my feeling post comp. I've spent 30 of the past 72 hours in preparation for the Third Annual South Sound Pull Down. We had a good turn out this year, somewhere around 70 competitors. The local turn out was amazing, especially with the masters! Plus we had a handful of hard pullers from Portland and Seattle, (thanks guys, it made for an exciting day!). And, like every year, every single competitor left the comp with a prize in hand! Sponsors rock!
The little gym is finally growing up. It's eyeopening to see how much the gym has changed since the first days it was open, back when I was a youngin' with no footwork. With different ideas flowing in and out of the gym, it has now evolved a more respectable reputation. This was the first year I felt comfortable enough to send out fliers to all the other gyms. The turnout from other gyms was less than expected(due to Stone Gardens last minute Pump a thon comp on the same day...) but still a start. With winter '09 approaching expect more awesome sessions like the one at the comp. A positive vibe and some competition can lead to some pretty amazing sends, and surprise winners!
Another little detail is now that I'm able to set whatever it has been a blast setting for you guys and I enjoy continuing it. When the rock gym opened, I was 'before my time' sort of speak, and wasn't allowed to set hard routes and had issues with, a, supervisors... But the Warehouse is a friendly climbing community that continues to grow. I've been out climbing with more new people this year than ever before. Thanks y'all for coming down and making all the work of setting worth it! See ya 20 '10 .

Results posted soon, vid coming soon.

2 Day Boulder Trip

It's starting to sound like a broken record, Leavenworth, Leavenworth, Leav... Last weekend Meg, Jeremy, and I headed east for a two day boulder fest. We met up with Kyle and Derick who arrived earlier. First stop was Mad Meadows where we ambled around looking for somethin' to warm up on. After a while(More coffee for Meg and Jeremy) we warmed up by the Peephole and worked our way over to Harry Spotter. Meg and Jeremy got to work and pretty soon all three of us topped it out! After the warm up we headed to Twisted tree where I managed the send of both Twister(V7) and Scrambled Eggs(V8). After messing around we headed up to JY and I gave Mad Max a couple of burns, but I got shut down cold on the very last move!
After a surprising warm night(around 45 instead of the predicted 33!) we headed over to the Icehouse and played on the moderates with Jeremy snatching another V5. The next destination was Mountain Home Road. None of us have ever been up there before and the view was unbelievable! I would absolutely put my house above the Star Wars boulder. After eating lunch a top of the boulder, Jeremy and I got to work climbing the steeper side. After cleaning up all the easier lines we migrated down to the cattleguard arete(V8) which was a little easier than how Micah descirbed it. After basking in the warm sun, we called it quits early and made it back to Oly in time for dinner. One of my goals was to actually film and I succeeded! A 5 min. vid will be posted shortly with sends from Jeremy, Meg and myself. Some climbs featured are Harry Spotter, Emperor's Lightning, Darth Maul, Little Bear and a couple others.
It took so long for the update because at school, climbing on the weekends means 12 hour days of School/Work. It SUCKS! but the benefits will be nice. Also, sign up for the WRG COMP! It is Oct. 17th. Sign up NOW. LOTS of good prizes. I hear there are some free shoes, free clothes and free gift cards!
