As per our recent posts, David and I have been spending a lot of time with our friend, Sander, south of Big Timber, Montana in the Beartooth Mountains. Though a handful of people had “brushed” a few problems here and there, most of these rocks were untouched until this summer. Here’s an awesome movie that … Continue reading

Another fun day on what we now call the Cosmos boulder. We kept working on/cleaning stuff we started working on last time and Christine cleaned another boulder just across the way. Some photos of us trying the straight up line on the middle of the face: ? Christine is cleaning…

Finding Motivation in Weakness and Inspiration in Success
Since David and I met more than four years ago in Spain, our life has been a blur of extended climbing trips in the US and Europe, interrupted by bouts of seasonal work—in large part because our international relationship required frequent border crossings such that neither of us overstayed our visas in the other’s respective … Continue reading

Pipestone Pass Bouldering: Take One
Yesterday, we had the privilege of climbing at Pipestone Pass for our first time, complements of some local-expert “tour guides” who’d be climbing there for multiple seasons. We had never climbed out there before, as the rock is rumored to be rotten and holdless. However, what we saw out there was incredible! Excellent, often tall … Continue reading

So we spent most of the time touring the area, hanging out with David’s extended family and their friends, and eating great Swedish food. However, we were also able to get outside and … Continue reading
