Waiting for the Forest Roads to Open

With the Woody mountain rd still closed, I have been primarily climbing circuits at Priest Draw. As of today Cherry Canyon and Drop Zone are open, so hopefully within another week all the other roads will open too. It will be nice to cruise into spring with good power endurance and go right to work on limestone roof projects. Here's a few videos from Priest Draw

As we begin to close roads, please stay off of closed roads for your own safety and to prevent road damage.

Black Roof Blues

Still working Anti Matter on Black Roof at the Draw. I'm Getting closer, but still get owned on the last few moves. I have also been climbing on the Pottery wall and climbed reverse street fighter (Tekken), and will eventually link out the entire left to right traverse(Luke CockBlocker) which feels harder than right to left due to the moves growing increasingly tougher the further you get. Here's some pictures of Anti Matter and video of Black Hole

Priest Draw Circuit

Circuited the draw with John Cooper the other day, mostly just running laps on roofs and half trying some of my projects. I've attempted to get my skin back in shape for Anti Matter on black roof by climbing Black Hole and Flat Black, and would like to finish it off while its still cold.  Here's video of some classic draw problems
