Well, I took a couple classes early at the local community college and I was able to skip a whole trimester... and get a diploma!!! So, no more high school for the whitemeat, no more pointless learning about things I will never use, and no more boredom for 5 70 minute periods a day!
So my last day was friday, and i drove out to the Utah splitter land on saterday.... thats what this TR is about, my first 2 weeks in the "real world" climbing splitters and hangen with the coolest folks around!
I was lucky enough to have a badass, awesome, experienced, and rad partner show me around for a week or so.. this guy has the name of Jim Donini. he took me around the desert and showed me around, brought me up my first tower, and even gave me the opportunity to climb some ice!
SPLITTERS!!!!
Now, the ouray ice park!
Then Jim took me to the black canyon to just look, but no climbing this trip, next time! I don't have any pictures that will upload to this site though :( sorry!
this is the video I made of the lightning bolt cracks on north six shooter!

Well, thats it for now, I am hanging out with my brother in fort collins CO... We are climbing local and may take some trips to vedavoo or eldo.. hit me up if you want to climb! OOOGGGHHH!!
See you all in the real world!
PS: I haven't taken a shower sense I graduated high school a couple weeks ago! Woohoo!!!

No shower. TMI
"Saterdays" are great! Now you'll have nothing but.
You're l iving the dream...loved your pics and especially the vid of Six Shooter. A classic. The music was great. You are good at that vid stuff.
Perhaps we'll bump into each other in the high desert sometime this spring.

Absolutely loved the vid. Especially the "It got awkward" had me giggling too. Would love to hear more about your time climbing with JD. I'm sure that had to be pretty cool.

Gettin' lost and found by donini...such fortune comes but to the worthy.
LET FREED, um, RING!
Wiser and bolder you are becoming as you grow older, right before our tired eyes.
You guys looked like Beavis & Butthead at their awkward stage, IMO.
Keep on splittin' and hangen like you been doin'...pretty soon you'll be a-shewin' everybody up.
Thanks for the TR--abbreviated or not, it was a good look-see into a young man's mind.

Your living the good life. Keep it up while you can, but don't forget to have a plan for the future, when you get old.
Your buddy, Jim Donini had a plan for the future, and that is why he is still living the good life. Great TR as well.
