I made it up to Taylors today and was fortunate enough to catch Kris Johnson sending Oxygen Cocktail V8 or 9 for his first time. Great send — he really had to dig deep to finish the thing:

We had a unique visitor at the cave this past weekend:

I headed up to Taylors today with Brea for a nice relaxing day of being outside and climbing for fun. We ended up spending our whole time there in the Mike’s area.

I headed way, way up north this weekend with Eric Johnson to hang out at his cabin, and most importantly, check out the Vermillion River Gorge boulder.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new bouldering blog. I have recently grown tired of the dated look and inflexible handling of my climbing blog at borntobreathe.blogspot.com. I decided it was time to put some effort into a new look and a new home and get myself a shiny wordpress installation with which I’ll be able to do pretty much anything I want on here.. I hope ya’ll will like it.

This past weekend I drove out to Madison and met Nic and got a few hours in to check out Governor Dodge State Park. Governor Dodge has been seeing a lot of development recently and I’ve been interested in checking it out for quite awhile now. The climbing is all on featured sandstone – and while the rock quality is unfortunately low – I did find the problems to be fun and the setting very pretty.

Been way too long since my last post.. Hopefully more coming soon..
I had a great time this past Saturday showing Brian, aka the ClimbingNarc, and his wife Amy around to most of the best problems at Taylors. The 3 of us started by warming up on the river boulders down below the Cave area on the WI side and soon moved up the hill to the Pharoah and Cave boulders where we spent the next few hours. One of the largest groups of people I’ve seen at the cave was out and the energy level was great! After hanging out at the cave awhile — where Brian flashed the Midget Stand and did the Sit in a few tries and I had my best go yet on the Traverse (will send soon – somebody hold me to it) — we headed up to do the always fun Big Boy problems. And finally, to end the day, I gave them a tour of the MN side where we ended up hanging out in the B2 pit.

I headed out to Taylors Saturday with Brea. It was pretty warm so my only intention was to get some time in climbing on easier stuff on the MN side and have some fun. We started in the B2 Pit and before I knew it I was eyeing up B2 Bomber. This is a classic taylors falls V4 that I had tried once a few years ago but never did – having taken several back landing falls from the last move that made me too scared to try it until now. After getting to and/or attempting the last move about half a dozen times – getting more and more confident as I went – I finally stuck the top move and did it. I was really glad to finally get over my fear on this thing and do this essential problem.
