Progression: February Fire Season
http://johnclimbrok.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-fire-season.html
Heading down the steep Sherwin Grade. 65 mph, 70, 78, 85. Picking up speed like the winds of last Friday. To the west, red color catches my eye and I slow down. Remembering. From Bridgeport to Mammoth - just before the Van Dyke Fire. Broke out and destroyed a power substation - overturned trailer trucks and the snapped 4x4 posts of former 395 highway signs litter the drive. Occasionally flinching with the expectation that the gravel flying through the air would shatter the glass of my vehicle. The though...

Heading out on a road trip starting tomorrow! Hint: An opposite of below. Is it some nebulous dimension where space is seen as a all encompassing whiteness?

Progression: Painted Lady
http://johnclimbrok.blogspot.com/2013/07/painted-lady.html
Just out of the truck. T-shirt weather at 9k feet. My eyes want to close. 1/3 Moonlight guides my feet. Plodding upward - west. Alpine lakes emerging below. A jagged skyline rising above. Light sweat - breeze. A simply rugged landscape reaches out beyond Kearsarge Pass. Into the dark pre-dawn sky. Downward - north -. Toward the waking lakes - faintly glowing with morning reflection. Marveled, we begin to chat. The Painted Lady is our mission. Though timeless objectives surround. Experiences for the taking.

Progression: RV Trip
http://johnclimbrok.blogspot.com/2013/12/rv-trip.html
Years It's been years since the last climbing road trip. Things are all happening on the East Side, but a trip has been long overdue. We'd been to the area before. And it would've been awesome to revisit the limestone. But Bouldering is just easier with a toddler - and the sandstone bouldering at Moe's is pretty sweet. Met a Swiss couple Daniel and Christina. And got to haphazardly shoot a bit toward the end of the trip. After sending his projects all day, Aiden needed some naps. Dignity (or lack thereof).

The Cathedral / Wailing area has definitely been the most impressive climbing area around thusfar. And we've been sending! Anyone want to come kick it? Great job crushing out there guys. Miss you!

It's also good to report that Shannon is back in the rope-gun status. She's sending, and sometimes her beta is even good ;) She gets the Achievement Award for week 2. You might re-dub this the Happy to be out of the office award. October 12, 2009 at 6:37 PM. Is that my Shanny? October 12, 2009 at 8:12 PM. Photo check in the mail? October 13, 2009 at 7:52 AM. Congrates on the achievement award Shannon! Looks sounds like the two of you are having fun! October 13, 2009 at 10:49 AM. Dignity (or lack thereof).
