Wow its been along time since I updated this page! okay so to keep it simple I arrived in the Red River Gorge in November and climbed for 5 days. What an amazing place! i will definitely be returning soon (april 2012) I assembled quit a good tick list while i was down there onsighted and red pointing some hard routes in the 5.10-5.11 range. The climbing truly was some of the best I'v ever done!
After the red, i came back home to Syracuse and competed in a local comp in Oswego at The Wall climbing gym. I placed 4th, wish i would have climbed a little better but theres always next time for that!
I was in Arizona for a week in December and climbed a little with my brother, I bagged couple easy crack routes, rope soloed on the days i couldn't get anyone to climb and red-pointed a 5.10d trad route. As of the first of the year i have a new short term goal! that is to climb my age in 5.10s-5.11s, so by September 23rd, 2012 I have to climb 19 5.10s and or 11s.
Heres some pictures from a photographer I met in Kentucky, the route is called Rising 5.11a
I have a pretty full scheduled year ahead of me including graduating high school and starting my cross country climbing trip to get to college in Arizona. I'm excited for the next couple years of my life where I can finally start climbing more than sitting in a damn boxed up room!
