Climbing Stimulus
Dispirited by the political leadership during these troublesome times my best friend and I departed the D.C. area and embarked on a 5 month cross country climbing trip. We have taken it upon ourselves to help stimulate local economies one value menu item at a time. Between the grubbing, boozing, and other shenanigans we hope to climb some amazing rock!

Trying to slay the Cobra
Sadly it was not in the cards for me. After three days on I just didn't have the juice. I left all of my skin on that climb...if only I had more time.

Back on real rock!
Went climbing at Queen Creek for the second time today immediately after landing in Phoenix. It was a beautiful sunny 73 degrees and I was actually able to TR three 5.10s...a couple of them clean! (In addition to a nasty scramble to the climbs) Now I am icing the ankle that was definitely pushed to the limits today. So stoked to be back outside.

Part Deux
Well I am back on the road flying solo this time around. Already things are looking up. My flight to Phoenix had a layover in Atlanta. AirTran overbooked the flight and offered 2 free round trip tickets, good for a year, and hotel accommodations to anyone who would take a flight the next day. I of-course took them up on this offer and am currently chilling at the Holiday Inn with four of my new friends (a couple of Towson girls and a UNC med student).

The Bad
The Good
So this is my attempt to onsight the epic climb "White Rastafari" V3 at Joshua Tree. This climb has been slated as among the top 20 boulder climbs in in North America. The climb is 25ft with a crux about 17ft up and relatively easy top out. I have pulled past the crux, however if you blow it there is a boulder at the bottom that you risk hitting. You can see it covered by the blue pad next to Steve the spotter.

Rustlers Roost
Oak Flats V4
Oak Flats AZ
Tim cruising a V2 at the Oak Flats, with a bum thumb. This is a spectacular bouldering destination outside of Phoenix. It has been host to many bouldering competitions as well as being projected by pro climbers. It is a shame that the largest copper deposit was discovered below it and in all likely-hood it will be blasted, thus restricting access.
