Bishop Inspiration 4.0

With only 11 days left until my Bishop trip, I am getting really psyched... It's getting hard to sleep at night, and I find myself day dreaming of boulder problems during every class. For this week's inspiration I turned to my previous two trips. Hope you enjoy.

Crown of Aragorn

Here is a little ditty from my good friend Alex Savage. It's videos like this that get me so psyched about Bishop. Good work man.

I have the f*ing flu. Damn it to hell.

Bishop Inspiration 3.0

This is a pretty killer video, thanks to Dead Point Magazine for the link. If you can't get inspired by this, good luck in life.

I dont know about you, but I like seeing Daniel Woods getting gripped on v5.

One more thing.... Lately I've been a serious moocher. Ripping videos off of other people's sites, and posting them on mine. I realize that the 1 or 2 of you that actually read my bullshit probably couldn't care less, but is what I'm doing lame? Should I stop? Leave me some thoughts.

The Weekend!

Well hello. How ya doin? Good. Me too.

I'm psyched about going to Little Rock City this Saturday. Really psyched. I'm about to burst open with joy. Well, maybe not that psyched, but close. Brooks, Natalie and I are heading up to LRC to try our hand at some of the most classic problems in the southeast.

Ticklist

(I've never been on any of these problems!!)

-Instinct Sit-

-Bedwetters-

-Cleopatra / Cinderella Traverse-

Cleopatra Cinderella Traverse (V9) from Jon Glassberg on Vimeo.

Seriously, how could life be any better? As long as I have projects I will be happy.

Sunday I'm going to Moss Rock Preserve, to try:

Reignition Sit

and

Beef It

Clicky click for videos.

STAY PSYCHED!

Toxic Avenger

Great googely moogely. It is 11:45 and I'm bored out of my mind. I've been staring at one problem now for over an hour and it's not looking any better. My mind started to wonder and I found myself sneaking a peek at the Bishop bouldering guidebook that came in the mail today. Might as well call it the Bible, it's as big as one. My eyes glance over a problem in the Happy Boulders, two words:

Toxic Avenger

I remember this thing from my trip two years ago. It's short, sweet, and prime for the picking'. No way I would have been able to touch it then, but now I think it will be right up my alley. Thanks to Timmy for the video... whoever you are.

The Fall Boy

Alex left me a comment that The Fall Boy should be on the top of my list for Bishop. Well I can see why, after some poaching I came up with this image.

Dope.

Oh yeah, and Atari.

I guess it's pretty cool too.

To whoever took these photos, thanks.

Bishop Inspiration 1.0

Take Hueco Inspiration 1.0 flip it, twist it, and put it in your pocket.

This is a whole new shadinkadink.

Booyakasha.

Stained Glass.

Holy classic boulder batman.

HP40 (1-25-09)

A great day at HP40.

A couple of things to note.

Kevin continues his sending spree with Litz Pocket, Boomslang, and Permanent Scream.

Brooks crushed Ghetto Superstar (send me the video man!), and nearly sent Cadillac thrills.

SON!

Here's a couple of pictures from 2 years ago. Nasty Nate giving the word under God Module. I wish I had this video. Classic!

Oklahoma Special

I don't understand why life is so cruel. As my dreams switch from the problems here in the Southeast to those located in my home land Oklahoma, I can't help but thinking about some of my favorite places. The problem is, the best problems in Oklahoma are now off limits, thanks to private property and stingy owners. The Farm, as it has been called, consists of beautiful sandstone boulders perched next to a farm overlooking the beautiful rolling hills in Bartlesville, OK. With a few projects there that have to clock in at V10 or harder, this area is truly the future of bouldering around the Tulsa area. Now I'm not saying this place is a destination, but for the rock starved Tulsa area locals, the best sandstone bouldering around is no longer accessible. So damn...... damn, damn, damn! I wish I could go back one more time, and do some classics like the one's shown below.

An Ungraded Unnamed Classic

Zack on "Serious Ju-Ju" (v5)

Moving Towards the Topout of "Resident Hard man" (Undone- v10?)

The Beginning of "Resident Hardman"

Sick! Just sick...

Another Undone Classic

Again, Undone Classic

So sweet dreams kiddos. If ANYONE has info on how to get in good with the owners of the Farm, you let me know.
