Chickin in denial. Can you say shotgun wedding West Virginia style?

About 15 to 18 feet to the Sportiva banner? About 10 feet wide? About 4 to 5 feet overhang?

Backside of the Bouldering Wall in Arco. This is how the pro's do it in Italy.

First pitch of this climb. 120 meters of wonderful ice. Grade 3

Second pitch of our 2nd climb of the day. Much harder for us with 80* to 90* sections on the first and third pitches. About 120 meters Grade 4-

Once every few years does this waterfall freeze over. So we jumped at the chance to climb it. The ice was to thin for screws. After a couple times up we tried it without axes and it was much easier. Normally climbing is not allowed in this area. We had permission from the local police. They were there checking the ice out for themselves.

Rumbling Bald Area somewhere near Flapping in the Breeze in December. Nice cold day.

Beuatiful day in December. Todd learning the art of slab climbing at Stone Mountain. Normally Todd climbs hard vertical sport routes but after today he only wants to climb hard vertical sport routes again. But really its not that bad onlyabout 45 meters to the first piece of gear.

Beautiful day in December on Stone Mountain. Mercurys Lead is exactly what Todd needed before heading up Fleet Feet later that day.

I spy with my two eyes

Results from a cycling crash. Broken clavicle. Cracked scapula. And the most painful was the collapsed lung.

After the swelling went down the bones started to drift. Surgery is scheduled for March 30th.

The surgery went well even with minor complications due to a bit more bone damage that was not noticeable in prior x-rays. One screw with a generous wrapping of surgical thread to hold the smaller pieces in place. Hopefully in a month I can start a more strenuous PT program. I am so ready to be able to ride and hopefully get back to climbing.
