Growing up in Raleigh, NC the closest thing to Good Climbing besides Boone was Moore’s Wall. When I wasn’t living at the gym, Moore’s was my main spot. It sits right by Hanging Rock State Park, just north of Winston Salem off Highway 52, about two hours east of Boone, in King, NC. Pretty [...]

Hello,
Friday night, Rami and I got away from Raleigh and drove up to Boone to meet up with friends Brian Clevenger and Brion Voges. I hadn’t climbed in Boone in about 8 months. It felt good to be climbing in an area where ya drive thirty minutes and you’re at the boulders, the concentration is high, the quality [...]

We had our sites set on Secret Splendour(V12) and Centaur(V12).
We got there around 5:30pm and started warming up. I tried Centaur for a little, while Jon waited for Secret Splendour to get out of the sun. After a few goes, I was no longer [...]

Hello Idiots!!!
Ha! So as you know, LT11 and my old pal, Donovan Craig, AKA DC were in Boulder last weekend to do some filming for this project I have going for this science fair in Berkley next month…..
Here’s what happened:
Between Carlo, Me, Jon, and this old man named Olson, we climbed Bierstadt(V10), Blood Money(V12), Eternia(V11), Dead Raccoon(V11), [...]

First off, I hike like a man! Better yet, Men try to hike like me!!
Last week, Jon and I jogged up to the Hallett Boulder….
Not really!! I believe this hike is worse than going straight to Eternia from the parking lot. Maybe I’m used to the Chaos hike, or maybe its because the talus is [...]

Yesterday,
Jon and I went to the Park with intentions of starting off at Emerald, to try Storm Shadow(V12) and then head up to Riddles in the Park(V12). That kind of happened…..
We ended up having one of those days where your legs feel like they weight 200lbs and hiking feels like a chore!
We never made it to [...]

This is how it went [...]

Yesterday, I went to the Park with friends John Gass, Rami, Rodney, and Voges…
It was a sick day indeed!!!
It started off with Rami and Rodney picking us up at the crib around 10am, pimpin tunes and sportin a very respectable whip! Two hours later, a few random tourists looking around, mistaking a stump for an Elk, a [...]

Hello,
Before I depart into my cave, when I started this blog, my original goal was to open up people’s eyes about the unbelievable boouldering in Boone, NC. The climbing here is incomparable, some of the best. Because of a lack of guides and organized camping areas, no one comes here. They go to the Ozarks. [...]

Last night Jon and I went to Charlotte to shot some more footage for the New River Gorge short. It was a real sexy time…

Saturday:
I went to Blowing Rock and finished off the Reverse Mushroom Traverse(V10)…A joke to say to the least. I also managed a flash of the Upper Mushroom Traverse and the Reverse Upper Mushroom Traverse, quite possibly an FA!!

MLK Weekend= no school, back to Chatty.
With a nice three day weekend, Jon and I went to Chattanooga. We were both syked to go back to Rocktown and finish off Speculum(V10) and Golden Harvest(V10). With weather callin for a high of 40 and sunny the whole weekend it didn’t seem like things could be better. [...]
