Off to Asia
I'm on my way to visit Brenna and hang out in Busan, South Korea. I've heard about a lot of great bouldering here and I'm looking forward to seeing it for myself. I also plan on checking out some climbing gyms and doing a bit of training before the winter season. On my last weekend in Tahoe I took my friend Alex Savage out climbing while he was in route to Yosemite. We did a warm up day at the Ronin Boulder where we repeated some of the awesome lines there. I did the first ascent of the sit start to Hidden Dragon v7. It basically climbs Secret Weapon but finishes sooner with a equally desperate exit. I called it Double Dragon and is maybe v11. Another great addition to this area. The next day Alex won the prize when I took him to Noah's rad Tahoe classic Ground Control v11. Alex did the second ascent in about 6 tries. It was really awesome to watch it get done in person. Check out the video to watch Alex do this rad climb.

Yo Jesse I am from NOLA and now live in Japan. Bobby K. told me to look you up. I am developing an area here that has many,many large granite boulders with a Japanese friend. We have 40 to 50 boulders with problems and hundreds more to go ranging from V0 to V-hard plus. If you find yourself in Japan holla at me.
ReplyDeletewill do Eddie, I'm on a tight budget so I most likely won't make it. I wish I could though, Japan looks truely rad and not just the bouldering. Tear it up man!
