The Circuit: ABS 10 Opener

Wow, the walls vibrate with the boom of the bass from the subs' as the crowd gets excited for finals... More on this later. The Circuit put on another sic comp that had 196 people show up and throw down; and there were only two sessions. Do the math and it was like having two comps in one day. The WRG climbing team did pretty well for the first comp this season. We had some new climbers and this was the first comp the Amaya, Megan, and Colin. The rest were returners and they are Eric, Quin, Kawika, Victoria and me, Jimmy! Shout out to the Adults that came down Josh, Jared and Luke. The problems were set really well and there were only a few traverse problems that owned me. For finals, it was just for fun and they took the top 6 climbers of the comp. Guess who was #6, Me! I decided what the hell, and went for it. The first problem I had to get the nerves out and sent 4th go. The second problem was a nice traverse into a crazy dyno, I fell off the pinch 2nd go and then spun the hold that I would've dyno'ed off of! The third problem was super sic hard and only Johny G could dispatch it.He also managed to flash the 5 hardest probs to qualify for finals. I hope he goes to nationals. At the end of the day, I took 2nd in Juniors and 4th out of 6 in finals. Also Kawika took 4th in his second comp ever (last year he placed 3rd in his first comp ever)The vid will be posted when i get my new computer in a couple weeks.


Also For all of you with video capable ipods I'll will have a red point film podcast so you can carry my climbing videos everywhere you go and feed your climbing junkie addiction, like me! Keep crank'n through our 7 month rain season and the next vid should be from Edgeworks Black Light comp. Enjoy!

Fall into Leavenworth

It's been a while since the last post so here's an update! I got swamped at work during August because two employee's took a month off and I wasn't able to get out as much as i would've liked to. Then fall came around and it was time to return to leavenworth. The first trip back was with a bunch of guys from the WRG, and it was a first time outside on the granite for many in the group.

After this trip I returned with a friend from the WRG and met up with Dom and Micah and some sick probs went down. For this vid, go to www.youtube.com/funclimbs. I left my camera at home because I thought that I would be to busy spotting but I was wrong and henceforth will never leave home without it. This last trip my sister, Lisa, made a surprising debut. She was able to do almost all the moves of Hanta Man(V9) and almost sent the proj. @ the sword boulders just left of The Classic. Another leavenworth video should be up within a couple days. Some insight on future videos, there should be some vids of the local ABS comps coming up and mabey one or two in Leavenworth!
