Rifle 2 - Long, Hard, Painfull and Fun!

I found my project, I'm trying Roadside Profit 8b+. An amazing rout of 35meters, starts with a big roof and on the end of that roof the crux is attacking you!

From then I did two 8a+'s and one 8b....

Colorado - Boulder Totally different

My last days in Squamish were great! I concentrated myself on some boulder problems. After the hard day of bouldering I already told about, I did a short multipitch of three pitches.

It is a lower start of the V8 Gibbs Cave I did two days before!After that I tried an even lower start of it who is V10, but that was to much for the day, I was close! Now I'm in Boulder CO,...
