The Happs.

The project in the Hurricave is coming along. I am one hanging it every try, getting the clips worked out (or lack of clips), and making some good links. The end boulder problem is about a 15 move V10 or so. It was great to have my hommie Isaac Caldiero try it with me the other day. He figured out some great options for clipping so you only skip three draws as opposed to FOUR. Yeah.. its like that. The bolts aren’t that spaced but it really is a big runout.

My try today proved that the easiest and most efficient way to climb it would be to skip the last four draws. UGh. I guess you just gotta deal in this situation and enjoy the fall huh?!!!

Isaac SUPER strong as always.

Entering the crux.

End moves of the crux... NO clipping... DANG!

It’s great having Isaac around to look at new walls with and get the game of development going. I am totally into it. I have three spots I am investing in and using ALL of my hangers, KILLING my drill bits, and just HOOKING lines up. It’s a lot of work man… I will say again, but man… some days I wake up with the intent of going climbing… and I end up bolting. ALL LOVE. Very excited with what we have in the makes. The future for hard sport climbing in the USA is here. And I am developing it.

It's important to expand the climbing terrain.  I am very keen on this whole concept.  Repeating and recycling is fun, but moving forward is only practical.
