Sir Thomas Betterton, Duke of AWESOME...

My apologies, someday I will get a tripod, and film climbs that are not too terribly hard to film.  Nevertheless, enjoy.







So this past weekend we (Thomas, BK, Ben, and myself) headed out to Eldo again to have a day of fun...  This time we made to The Heist without a forty five minute detour around snow packed boulder fields... Awesome...


FYI - There is an ice bridge that withstood the hunk of man we call Kevin.  If you know Kevin or have seen previous blogposts, you know that ice bridge is super solid...  BETA:  Park after the Milton boulder, walk down towards the ranger station, and cross the creek after passing the Milton Block.


Thomas has been working the Heist, and I have messing around the Infinite for a few days.  Our game plan was for Thomas to crush the Heist, and for BK to hop on Pig Dog again, and for me to send the Infinite...  Honestly, it was balls cold.  When all was said and done, Thomas worked The Heist for about an hour and a half.  He is making some impressive links...  If you have not seen the Heist in person, shame on you.  It is MASSIVE about 35 feet of climbing.  The nice part of the climb is the Ghetto like rising slab behind the climb.  However, The Heist looks balls hard...  Thomas says the first few moves up to the "jug" is about kinda hard to hard.  Apparently the crux moves are hard, but not super hard.  Thanks Thomas for the info.

It eventually started to snow, so we all decided to bail.  Our good friend Bob was at the DBC, and heated climbing sounded a hell of a lot better than suffering under the quasi chossy Infinite for an hour.  The DBC right is insane!  350 Brand new Pusher holds!  Even a Boss!  Brand new climbs are going up every day...  Get excited.







So a few things are happening soon,  Cat and I are going to Hueco next weekend for about 4 days!  So excited!  We are going with a lot of people in Feb right around my date of birth too... Pretty pumped, I have never felt so strong, and am really curious to see what I can do...
