Shoutout to Kerry and Alex for getting me up this boulder. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Find yourself some good friends <3

Post break…. 10 seems fair.

Soft. Warm temps made me resort to alternative beta… had to summon the Comp climber in me for the 1-2-3

Neither an Amanda day nor a Marky Mark day :( 3 attempts. "Pop off, only on occasions brother"

A bit harder variation now than when it was in its original state back in 2015. Everyone thought it would be a classic "Amanda Day" but it turned out to be a Marky Mark kinda day so fuck the haters. #UnitedInGrief

“Fuck it, it’s a pink.”

Soft. Joe Mamosa style.

Soft. Day filled with halo, the Overlook (aka Stanley hotel) and some climbing.

Knee bar because I’m a softie. #DiariesOfAnInjuredWhiteBoy “Say what you say...just remember how you said it when you we’re spraying it.”

Soft. Smashed it today after punting on the jugs up top 4 years ago.

AB style. Thanks to Charlie and Kyle for the support. “I’m going to piss then do this shit.”

Team send with the G master and the Captain.

Soft. Fun day with the crew. Fell on the snowy top out into the snowy ground. Psyched to be out in Co!!

Soft. First 11 post op. Took about 30- 45min. What a sick line. The pogo is one of the best jumps I’ve done outdoors. Crazy to think it’s been 9 months since surgery and only 5 months since starting up climbing again after almost a year off due to my shoulder injury. To start from what felt like scratch to where I am now feels almost like a dream. Progressing along nicely I like to think but still have a ways to go. Unbelievably psyched to be getting back into it. Thanks to Mark and Kevin for spending the week with me. “LFG”

Honored to have to participated in “Brian Day”.

Squamish is dope! Hot out...

Soft. 1st boulder (other than easy chair for warm up) post op!!! Psyched to be climbing outside again! Quite the view up there. “I think I can do that everytime now”

I managed to do one climb in this heat...

Well pretty good trip. Then I greased off the second to last jug on Bubba Ho Tep. Then I dislocated my shoulder next go (Thats what I get for punting). Thankfully it popped back into place after a few minutes of rolling around on the ground in pain. Won't be climbing for quite a bit. "Guys, I'm scared" :/

5th go

1st try but used a hold trying the other climb next to it.

~5 tries

"You only get one flash attempt. You can never take it back...make it count" -Zach Lerner, The Master of the Flash. Wanted to do this boulder first try real bad, glad I didn't blow it. Thanks to Kevin and Conlin for the spray down. Thanks to Zach Lerner for teaching me the art of the flash. Let the rampage begin...

Soft. 3rd ascent post break? Tall not strong. 50th boulder I've done outdoors... One day I'll start climbing outside more often.

Soft. One session. Skipped the intermediate and jumped left and to the mini jug. Solid session with the Kevin the giant, who reached his way up the boulder. The snow started to comedown on the send go. It's cold out. #penutbutterpowered

Again, didn't flash because I suck. Next time I come back I'll put down the choss pile traverse, 'The Chattanoogan'. Good times with Brandon. In the mean time back to good ol Maryland.

Way too many attempts and way too stressful. "Alienated by society, all this pressure gives me anxiety"

2nd go. Didn't flash cause I suck. "I'm a sucker for pain"

Great boulder! LRC really tests your pure climbing ability, which apparently I lack. Everything feels hard. Just have to stick to training and learn how to climb one day. Need to get back into shape like I was back in CO. What a time to be alive.

Whack jump cross for the last move.

Fun first day with the gang, aka Brandon, aka Brandon "Brachioradialis" Conaway

Went right hand first. I like to jump. I need to do more jumpy climbs.

SO psyched!!! Happy to top this one today. First of the grade, 3 sessions.

The boulders here are awesome! Bummer it has to be raining though...

Finally! Like Nate said, way too many sessions. I'm glad to have topped this one out today.

Is this the climbing gym??? Never have I ever heard sooo many rules for an outdoor boulder...

Psyched! 15min.

Soft. Close on the flash go.

Dopest dope I've ever smoked.

Soft

Felt so good to top this out after having my foot slip going to the jug at the top yesterday. First boulder I sent that took more than one session. 19 degrees out.

Dope!

So psyched to have done this!!! Such a good climb!

Soft. Should have flashed. Dry fired off the top out.

Flash after stand.

4th go. Felt like V8. I'm tall though. Probs a grade harder if your short.

Soft. One move.
