GL during the FA of Minute Papillon at Cheater's Head.

Minute Papillon (v9-10?) @ Cheater's Head (2003)

Here is an obscure testpiece found at Cheater's Head across from Terence Bay. On a slightly overhanging wall close to the ocean are two problems. The left is an amazing ballsy v7 named Rogue Wave and to the right is a heinous crimp problem named Minute Papillon. On the last move of Rogue you make a long move where blowing it would result diving in the ocean! Here Chris Eager works on Minute Papillon (possibly still unrepeated, FA by GL)

Le Safari @ LOC ~ 1999

I have some older photos (pre-digital) of bouldering in Halifax that I intend on posting here over the next few months. Enjoy! G

Shown here is Jeff Lockyer before the first ascent of Le Safari on the Jungle boulder in LOC. This photo was taken during the first session on it sometime in 1999 I believe. Doing first ascents in Halifax depends many times on having the vision of what is possible or might be possible. This was a good example. Observe only two scrubed holds on the lip...

Moving to townhouse

Friday we move in to our townhouse. We are so psyched! Went camping last weekend in Radium. At kicking horse resort they had a small climbing wall that I had to jump on. If only they had these when I was 6!

Wild West

Fiona and I have been living in Calgary for a month now. Things are good. Weather has been pretty aweful. I've climbed a few times outside and plan on visiting Prairie quite a bit this summer.

Nationals

I'm getting psyched to fly to Toronto this Wednesday to set with a great crew for Nationals. I'm looking forward in catching up with some friends as Fiona and I will be moving to Calgary in less than a month. G

School's out! Back to climbing!

I'm now done my college program! So happy to be done. I'm heading down to NH to visit some friends and do some bouldering in Pawtuckaway. Can't wait to get outside.
