In Memoriam: John Rosendahl

In Memoriam: John Rosendahl

| September 16, 2012

I have held off this past week posting this only because I really didn’t know what to say; in short, I was speechless. A friend who works at the same gym that we all regularly visit came to the rescue by writing a wonderful eulogy that was posted in the gym and, in an edited […]

thoughts on immigration (i.e., entering a country)

thoughts on immigration (i.e., entering a country)

| September 10, 2012

While in Europe, I compiled this list of things to keep in mind when entering another country and having to deal with immigration. I’m sure lots of peeps get by and through just fine. Personally, I’ve had mixed results, mostly because I said things that, in retrospect, was not  a good idea. So because of […]

thoughts on a Garmin Nuvi GPS

| September 8, 2012

I wrote this while in France and the UK mainly as an outlet for frustration over this supposedly useful device. When we picked up our new Peugeot (from Peugeot Open Europe) at the airport, they told us the built in one doesn’t work so use this one until we can get to a dealer for […]

Back to the forest, through video

Here are some videos that I edited while still in France. I actually edited 4, but one I’m redoing slightly as it’s a bit boring. The first one below on La Presse Puree has an edit mistake, but I can’t really fix without doing a major redo. Can you spot it? Also, sorry for the […]

Symbiose at 95.2

Symbiose at 95.2

| August 10, 2012

I’ve edited some footage showing me climbing a cool roof problem. There’s an extension that goes at 8a called La Traversée de Symbiose. I shot Thierry Plaud, a beausard, on the extension and included some images of that too. He didn’t send it, but it’s just a matter of time as he falls reaching the […]

Caley Roadside with Matt Birch

Caley Roadside with Matt Birch

| July 27, 2012

I’ve edited footage of Matt sending Ben’s Groove sit (7c+) though he’s done it many times. Considering Caley is his local crag…maybe 5 minutes away, he’s got it wired. Still, he climbed it from the stand and sit several times each, including the sit crux a few more times, and never showed any struggling. Here […]

Renaming GTR locations…(and a guidebook critique)

| June 26, 2012

Now that I have the new guidebook in hand I can begin to rename areas according to the guidebook. This means the 4 geology tour road areas I now have will be recategorized into the Western Belt, CGTR 1 (Central Geology Tour Road), CGTR 2, CGTR 3, and the Eastern Belt. Also, he now calls […]

Hello again. Though we hardly blogged about Europe, we have stacks of video and stills to go through, so I will be posting on that shortly. In the mean time, I’ve picked up a copy of the new bouldering guide and reviewed the problems Robert has been able to include from our efforts in Josh. […]
