Home Gym Projects: Bump & Grind

Finally nailed my latest home project, Bump & Grind! It took 2 months, again! I know I look "angry" at the end but just so charged to finally finish it. In fact, what you are seeing is take two! My first was minutes prior but not recorded...the SD card filled up just as it was being filmed. Also, I was so close for so long; it's very sustained and I couldn't stick the final 2-finger pocket before the exit and had to work just that move for the last 2 weeks! Bouldering...frustrating yet fun.

Home Gym Projects: Green Goblin

Finally did it! Been working on this one on and off for about two months. Nearly had it before leaving town over xmas. Yesterday was the first time climbing since the holidays and I really didn't think I was in shape to do it. But it all came together and I'm so happy to finally nail it!

Our hardest home problem to date, particularly roof holds - (open handed 3 finger pocket followed by right facing crimp to right facing pocket for the left hand before final pocket and out.) Fun, fun, fun!

Home gym - Matches Made in Hell

Working on this project for the last month and a half. Took about 3 weeks to get my FA. But I could not do it with shoes on!? My foot just couldn't hold for the long reach to the far left. Probably easiest move on the climb but quite a reach for me. Very aggravating. After about a 3 week break from this problem, got a pair of 5.10 Moccasims...tried the long reach and nailed it. But after a minor injury and two weeks off, I had to re-work the problem. It took about a 3 days, but finally scended...with shoes. :) Here's the video.
