More beautiful photos from AK. I have a few more that I am working up right now. But I am putting a bit more English into these. Enjoy for now.

Oh yea, the weather here is nasty yet again. I sure hope the rainy season has not started yet.

Here are some photos of a new line. What a nice day it was. I bolted the line, then sent it. Come On Eddie is 11a and fun. For a two more wonder that is. Sorry that the climbing photos are terrible. It turns out that not all of the Japanese cameras are good. Proof in the finished product.

In other news, Gavin is 4 months +2 today. He is meeting all of his 4 and some of his 5 month goals already. We are very proud of him.

This weekend the fam is heading on a small adventure. There are a few boulders in the Kofu area that Jack and I are developing. Star has not seen them so I am taking her and the little dude on a over night trip to the mountains. We are planning on staying at a Japanese BnB. The BnB is located right on a beautiful mountain river. The weather looks to be fric-tastic!!!!!! I am taking the new Organic pad in hopes for some killer photos!!!!! Photos coming soon.


Go climb Something!!!!!

Lately we have been climbing quite often. This past weekend we drove a hour away and checked out Kawamata. KM is a really cool sport climbing area with tons of fun routes. Many new projects, or so it seems. The weather was very cold so we did not stay long. The weather was over cast and because so it was -2C. We drove over to Base Camp and had a fun day climbing with Hit chan.

On Monday Jensen and I woke up at 5am and made the 3 hour drive down to Joyama. It was his birthday on Sunday and as a present I decided to take him multipitch climbing. We arrived to three other guided parties already climbing. But fortunately they were climbing other routes. We geared up and headed for the summit on a direct route 10c. A very fun onsight as it turned out. It was super fun showing Jensen how to handle himself on a multipitch climb. All in all it was a great day.

On Wednesday we headed back to BC and I have to say it was my best work out in a month. A very good night. I finally finished some projects and made great progress on others.
