I feel that it is important every now and then, in any pursuit, to occasionally halt your day to day grind, take a moment to reflect on your recent past - both successes and failures, rest and start fresh. This is precisely what December has been for me thus far. The last year has proved to be a breakthrough year for me in many respects.. but like anyone, I also suffered various defeats. It feels both healthy and righteous to take a minute and rejoice in those wins and also examine my losses in climbing of course, but also in general. Thinking ahead, I find myself tending towards larger and larger goals and as I create said goals, I become immediately motivated. For me, planning has always been nearly as fun as execution and as I plan for the coming year, I must say.. I am unbelievably stoked! There's much work to be done!!!!!!
In the spirit of reflection.. I flipped through the old 2010 photo library and dug up some images to share from this past year. Enjoy!

we found Zeke on the highway in Kentucky, on Thanksgiving Day. After much deliberation, he managed to nab a seat in the Subaru on the way home. He lives in Colorado now and as it turns out, he is an excellent running partner

Ament's wall? It's definitely something on the gill boulder...
ReplyDeleteKudos on doggie rescue
ReplyDeleteI'm honored to be a part of your 2010, here's to an equally good if not BETTER 2011!
ReplyDeleteSHIT. I KNOW THIS. MAYBE KALELEN IS RIGHT...THE LOW RIGHT FOOT HOLD ON AMENTS WALL? BUT... THIS IS NOT MY FINAL ANSWER...
ReplyDeleteOh! The hold with the chalk might be a left hand sidepull that you use on the arete-ish problem just to the right of Ament's wall, don't know the name. Either way, I'm fairly sure it's the south face of the gill boulder.
ReplyDeleteOKay, Final answer
