Yup! I suck. I know. You don’t have to tell me. And now I’ve waited so long that there’s just too much to blog about and there’s no way I’d be able to tell all the stories in the twenty minutes I have before I have to leave for the airport… to go to Australia for six weeks.
A short list of things I’ve done since my last post:
- Fell off the redpoint crux of Scarface three times on my last day at Smith over spring break, then went back to send it on my second try first day back on it about a month and a half later. Then J-Star went and dispatched second try! Jeez dude, at least have some consideration for those of us that still have to try!
- Went to Baltimore to compete in the Earth Treks Rock Comp presented by MHW which was my first bouldering comp since destroying my shoulder. I jumped some huge mental hurdles by not destroying it again and also making it to Semi finals, busting some pretty shouldery moves and coming out in 11th in the while shebang. I really enjoyed myself, got to watch the finals from a spectators perspective (which is something that I normally don’t get to do) and I really hope MHW, my biggest sponsor, gets behind this comp again next year!
- Finished my third semester at City College! I only took two classes, but still! I have a hard time pretending to be an over achiever.
- Went to Japan for the FiveTen Cup where I had a really great time, despite pulling my right hamstring in the quallies. Hammy is doing much better now. Blogs are on FiveTen’s site.
- Had one of my most successful and fun days of bouldering at a granite spot near South Lake Tahoe last Sunday on my 24th birthday!
Lots of good pictures from all my travels can be found on my flickr page.
Ok seriously, I have to go to the airport now. Don’t wanna miss my flight. I’ll be climbing and bouldering in the Grampians, possibly in the Blue Mountains and who knows where else… be back in 6 weeks with a $#it ton more images and video, and hopefully no injuries! Have a great June everybody! Peace.
P.S. I’m taking the fall off of school so I will have much less stress and more time to write blog posts. And climb!
Enjoy your visit, we love it down here! Matty Segal, Cedar Wright and that crew were down here a month or two ago and appeared to be having a good time…
