I sessioned at Puzzlebox roof today. I stepped up the difficulty again by repeating some of the straight out lines. I also did Cosmic Bicycle, but was unable to get footage because the camera battery died. I've been doing core and opposition training after climbing to help accelerate the process of getting back in shape.

More Easy Draw Classics

I am gradually increasing the difficulty during my climbing sessions. Yesterday I repeated Floor Pie and Twister. I also did the Fin-Bat Roof link-up which is good to get a pump and build some endurance. It is 50 or 60 feet long.

Priest Draw

After nearly two months without climbing due to a finger injury I'm starting up again. I'm psyched to have the Priest Draw as a place to get back in shape and rehab my finger. The draw is nice because the boulder problems have friendly handholds. I can gradually increase the difficulty each session with climbs that I'm familiar with. Today I did thirty-five easier problems. A large volume of boulder problems with low intensity is the goal for now. I plan to get video of the easier classics to add to the collection of simple one cut videos on my vimeo account.<

Refrence

There has been a lack of updates the last few months between traveling in a foreign country and my recent finger injury. I'm going to take this as an opportunity to give a shout out to my friend Travis Bibler in the CO. He is an up and coming hip hop artist that has been making new tracks and doing a lot of recent shows in the Denver area. He is doing a show at the Roxy Theatre in Denver on August 26 as an opening act for Snug Brim, a Kansas City rapper. Over labor day weekend Refrence is doing a show at Club 156 in Boulder on September 1st. This show is sure to be off the hook considering that it is the weekend after school starts at CU. If you're in the area check these shows out.
