A Weekend in Boone...

The past few months have been non stop so a weekend at home was well over due...

Brion Voges was in town all week cleaning up all the area test pieces and i have lots of footage to put up but the Vimeo account is tapped until Tuesday. It was great touring Brion around for a few days and I have been running around repeating boulders he has been getting on and remembering how great the bouldering is in Boone...

I went out a few days ago to look at an old project at Area E and Nate, Brion and I played on it a bit and it turned out to be really cool. Behind The Flame is a giant cave that has a steep and sharp arete tucked behind a few other large blocs. The line just barely goes without touching the other boulders and turned out to have fun movement so i was psyched to come back and try and finish it off...

I went back today and was able to do it giving it the name Kaleidapuss and i think it weighs in around V10 but we will have to see. I have edited some miserable footage but at least you get an idea of what it looks like if you guys head down there and wanna take a look and give it a try. The landing is really bad so i built it up with some logs so it should be a little better.... kind of a break away landing...

The past few weeks have been nuts in Boone. As the semester winds down and people are getting ready to leave forever the drama seems to be piling up. its quite entertaining...

I have been putting a lot of effort into the REMIER of our old bouldering flick called Satisfaction. We are showing the movie at the local brew and view, Dragonfly Theatre, and we will be raising cash for the Carolina Climbers Coalition.

Showing this video is gonna be a great throwback and i cant wait to see who comes out of the woodwork for the remier. Satisfaction is a movie Dustin Chambers put together about me and Nate climbing in Boone and it focused on bouldering and college life and it has some very entertaining clips. Nate jumps half naked into a bush in a blizzard... Pierced.

Jordan Shipman will also be showing some of his shorts from his Louder Than 11 vault and we will have a "where are they now" section at the end of the movie to update everyone... Hope you can make it!

Cant wait to see what these Boone kids do next. Im on the edge of my seat...
