The Hunted (v8) @ Grover, NS

It's a long hike but this problem is worth it. Found on the edge of Grover's peninsula is the problem The Hunted. We did this line roughly 6 years ago. Crux at the bottom matching on the arete then slightly overhanging to the top. This video is the first ascent shot by Brian Garrison (note: done during hunting season).

VIP (v12) @ The Honey Tree, NS

Here's another oldie. Deep in the woods of w.penn is the honey tree home of The Honey Tree (v8) and the unrepeated VIP (v12) done by Nick Sagar quite a few years ago. Video is of me on an attempt.

old footage - Overdrive (v10) @ LOC

I have some old footage that I will post here from time to time. This one is not very old maybe 3 years? Me repeating Overdrive at LOC on a cold Sunday after a tour de bloc comp. The first ascent was done over 10 years ago, time flies! Still only half a dozen repeats since...

Ice Box Session 2010!

My resolution for this year is to climb more. Tonight Sean and I got a good session in the famous ice box in Lake Echo. Temps were decent and we have a good circuit of projects on the go. More ice box sessions to come I'm sure. Psyched.

Happy holidays!

Less than 5 months before I graduate.
Looking forward to climbing a bit over the holidays.

Ben Smith throwing himself at the "brown problem on the 45" during Ground Zero's League Night on Nov.30, 2009. Note: after sending the problem he then proceeded to drive with his bro to Pawtuckaway, NH(leaving at 10pm for a 10hr drive!).

Ground Zero has the largest BOLO Volumes inventory of any gym in the world! Check them out! So fun!
