Too pumped to hold the lousy chickenhead, I have to take another burn to open the crux moves of The Gift.

Out enjoying the afternoon sun amidst the Happy Boulders. In the foreground, a stoked ct heads for his fourth lap up the Heavenly Path.

Clipping bolts up above the Coors brewery in Golden, Colorado.

Warming up on a short 10c clip up in the Grotto.
