At the very end of the day on Saturday, my friend Ben Newton from Asheville decided to give Disasteroid (V6) a try. This is one of the brand-spanking new problems down at the creek boulders. Ben had been climbing all day and still really went for it...but the blank mantle top out was a bit of a challenge. I give him props for digging deep and finishing the line.

I've been checking out this blog for a few months now, nice work. It's been a long time since I climbed in NC, but spent most of the 90's there. We used to have a college friend with a house in Houndears, and so we had the sweet private hookup. Videos like this make me miss it! Keep up the good work.

Hey Tim, glad you're enjoying the blog. Having the private hookup for HE would be amazing. It's such a bummer that the place is closed to climbers--it's an amazing bunch of boulders and being up on the ridge like that is pretty killer to boot. BTW, we might've bumped into each other back in the 90s. I was here in Boone from 98-2002 for my undergrad. Hope you're getting on some good rock wherever ya live now.
ReplyDeleteTim, I just checked out your blogs. Are you living in Turkey now?!
