I was poking around Facebook the other day and in those annoying little mini-feed was the most awesome picture I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I inspected a little further and discovered that Matt Bosley and teammate Charlotte Jouett got hitched! And look how badass she is! Climbing in a wedding dress? Awesome.

Anyway a big congratulations to two really excellent people and very talented climbers.

Oh and check out the photog that took the picture:

Merry Wednesday and Happy Mid-Week. Last night we celebrated the birth of Cassidy Hill in the People’s Republic, by celebrate I mean we indulged in libations, many libations.

According to Rifle locals, Beer Run is a slab route. To me, It’s steep as shit-it overhangs probably 20 feet in 100.

I was inspired by Bronco’s endorsement strategy for the president. Of course! Who would win in a fight? That’s perfect! I thought maybe we should have a different sort of fight every week. Mine is a little more twisted it’s less who wins in a fight and more who wins the most categories. To start I’m bringing two heavyweights to the ring to duke it out and determine who finally is the baddest ass of them all.
