Best life EVER!

So the last few days have been super sick. Climbing in the valley with a huge crew every day, tons of inspiration to do problems and our group has had a ton of success. Our neighbor, Isaac Caldiero (professional climber for Moon, 5.10 shoes, Alpine Aire foods, Raw Revolution, Momentum Video Magazine, and Flashed.) has a project in the valley that is coming along nicely and its very very possible he gets it today (heres hoping). This roof might be the coolest problem in Moe's such a great horizontal roof.

Yesterday i got the chance to meet Joe Kinder and take some pictures of him sending Show of Hands (V11) a real classic out here at moe's. He's a super cool guy with a great personality and i understand for sure why companies choose him to be their ambassador. Joe is a professional climber for La Sportiva, Petzl, Sterling Ropes, Metolious, Eastern Mountain Sports, Gregory Packs, Smith Optics and Nutriex.

 As for me, ive climbed 3 new problems in the last 2 days (including one that i had been working for a week) and 5 new problems the day before that at the Browse Granite boulders, overall definitely the most successful week of climbing ive had yet. I have my eye on a couple more problems and if all goes well i should have climbed atleast one V6 by the end of Feb. which i would be really psyched on. Not bad progression for 2 months of bouldering in my opinion. Outside of climbing myself ive been taking a lot of photos of the other people in our crew climbing lately and some of them have come out fantastic. Overall the last few days of my life have been beyond outstanding, and i definitely hope there is many more of them to come. Here is some various pictures of our crew playing around in Moe's.
