Here are some excellent shots taken by my homie, Mr. Ben Dory. This kid doesn't know how to take a bad shot! A couple of classics on a blustery day at good ol' Horsetooth Res.

"It's a Beautiful Morning...."

Ahh, it's a brand new year. To be exact, it's the first day of the second decade of the 21st century. The first decade of the new millenia has come to an end, and the world is in a general state of shittiness. Totalitarianism in government continues to plague the modern world. Basic human rights are shat upon in nearly every corner of the earth. The U.S. is still fighting two wars(thanks W.) while trying to repair a broken financial system and deliver affordable healthcare to the hard working masses.
My aim with this blog, however, is to focus on happy things like rock climbing, good friends & family, cool places, & dumb dogs. I will do my best to keep things light here, but make no promises.
I'll be spending my New Years Day with my bestest friends at one of the coolest places I know of within an hour of the Bubble when it's friggin cold. The Brothers Lookout wall in Three Sisters/Alderferer Park sits near the very top of one the tallest south facing hills in the area. The rock isn't the best but just needs more traffic to clean up the chossy parts. It's steep, tall, the moves are fun and the landings are flat. There are a dozen lines on this wall of varying quality and difficulty ranging from v3 - v10+. The walk is short and the setting is amazing.
The line I've been trying climbs the best rock up the tallest portion of the wall. The climb starts with fairly easy moves and gets progressively harder as you near the crux. The most difficult climbing begins when your feet are about 15' up and ends when you latch the first jug at approx. 25'. Look for media in the very near future that will be shot with my brand new camera! Thanks Mom & Steve!
