On the Front Range and Bouldering

We've been hanging out here in good ol' Colorado for about 2 weeks bouldering. We've hit spots from Newlin, near Canyon City, to RMNP. Man!!! I love RMNP! I guess this is another power training phase, cause all I want to do is boulder. Even though that's the case, I'm psyched to climb in Rifle this week. We'll climb Thursday-Saturday the 25th and Monday and Tuesday of next week in Rifle Mountain Park.

We built a raft... Well we built a crash pad holding structure out of dead/down trees in Boulder Canyon to keep our crash pads dry on Cage Free... Unfortunately no sends that day.

Here are a few recent climbing pictures from RMNP. Hopefully we'll get our hands on some of the great pictures Mickey O'Hara took while we were in Newlin:/

Me on Merkin, V9

Liesel on Grieta Blanca, V4

The Portal, V8... Sending!

TJ, lookin good on the Portal... But more importantly look at that sweet Black/Yellow Organic waiting to catch him!

I'm now the proud owner of 2 new Organic bouldering pads!

In other news... My mom has organized a great quilt collection hung all over the Colorado State Capitol building in Denver. The show consists of 270+ quilts from around the state. This is her third time doing it and it's A LOT of work, I'm really proud of her. She is addressing a standing room only crowd at the opening reception in the picture below.

We had a good time hanging with my family this weekend. Bowling with Galen and Ashley was Super Fun! Dinner with the family on Father's Day was great too. Liesel will be off to Alabama next Thursday, the 30th. I'll have more even sweeter bouldering pics in the near future. How's everyone like the new title? It was my first crack at Photoshop.
