check out this beautiful crack rich is leading in a secret valley...

today is canada day!

i have not written in a while but here are some recent events:

eric and i climbed the entire "alaska highway", five grueling pitches. our goal was to climb a link up of alaska highway into the next route "the calling". after the first five pitches though i was physically too exhausted to continue. three of the pitches contained strenuous off width sections that i am not accustomed to climbing. so i have been practicing off width climbing.

the second picture is of rich on one of the classic off widths at "the cirque of the uncrackables".

the third picture is eric leading a ridiculous 5" crack at murrin park.

the kid shooting the gun is ben, a local who was intrigued by a pellet gun brought across the border by a group of californians. ironically the only other group here from california also brought a pellet gun!

i hate off width cracks!
