The New West


Booya!!! It be PrimeTime here coming at you mang! With a report from the sick Wasatch Front and with what's been going down over the past few weeks in regards to the only thing that matters... climbing!!!
After leaving the state of Minnesota Meg and I made our way to the little known climbing hotspot of Spearfish Canyon, So Dak to take in some of the sick streaked limestone and so I could show off our newly made PT climbing shirts to the masses. With a few quick sends of killer limestone test pieces we were off to finish the drive to our new home in the sending capitol of the country, Salt Lake City.

We arrived here set up our place and quickly headed out for the crags. I'll give you a quick rundown of the first climbing weekend here in heaven.

Friday: Leave SLC around 2 head down to Maple Canyon hook up on a few of the summer projects and "maybe make a few onsites" on the cobbles. Drink 3.2 beer in the campground engage in a good bullshit/spray/spew session with others and retire to bed.

Saturday: Wake up head out to the Crags at Maple get back on those projs and this time I know what leg to put the knee pad on. More attempts followed by a short drive back home. Rest and go see "Harold and Kumar Go to Guantanamo Bay"

Sunday: Wake up early to perfect temps and go to American Fork for some Onsite and ropegun action. Send all morning on the awesome limestone and return back to relax the rest of the weekend.

Monday: Return to AF for more awesome craggin after work. I think I need to take a rest day.

Well bros I just wanted to let you know that everything is going well in Nirvana and hopefully I'll see you all out here soon or at least in So Dak.

Peace out!

Yo, Peep the new layout and let me know what you bros tink.

Prime Time Couch Time

Its barely spring and there’s already lots of new development at the Midwest’s premier steep sport climbing mecca – Willow river. First, a new 12c (or b/c) called “Couch Time”. It starts on Genesis then heads up to the chains of Cain. The first half is like hanging on the couch – big comfy holds. Then you have to step off the couch to pull the crux once you reach Cain. Think of it as having to get off the couch to get a beer or something. Then it’s back to the couch – big comfy holds to the chains. Don’t fall getting back on the couch though it’s a little tricky here, but it’s still pretty “couch”.

The other variation is to do the V9ish start of Cain into Couch Time. This one goes at 13d and is called “Abel”
