Heading to the Valley

OK, round 2. Just got back from another weekend in Rifle, my favorite place to pull down! It was a great time as always.

So in my first blog, I mentioned a climb I have been wanting to do for a long time and now it looks like I will attempt it in about 40 days. Myself and friend Brian Shelton will be training to climb The Nose of El Cap in Yosemite sometime in September. Not trying to set any speed records, I really want the full experience (like waking up on the portaledge 2,000 ft up and making a cup of coffee in the morning) so we will probably be on the wall for at least 3 days. We will be in the valley for almost the whole month of Sept. so we can get some good training in there as well before we attempt it. So it is time for me to switch to trad mode, instead of sport climbing and comps! It has been a dream of mine for some time, so hopefully it all comes together and we send it!

Well, that is about it for now, I will keep you posted as we get closer to heading out to Yosemite, I can’t wait!
