Tea Harbor always.......

surprises. Today we headed back out with a few things on the agenda mainly the donkey choker project. But as always theres always something new that deserves some attention as well. I found a new line going up a beautifully blank overhang, but back to the main point of the post the project. Even though I wasnt climbing great I managed to link from the full sit up into the crux move to the meathookin' sloper.The first move
Id also like to make note that the Five Ten Projectclimbing shoe (Pictured above) is basically the shit. Anyone who enjoys the sensetivity and being able to feel every litte feature of the rock cannot go wrong with this shoe. They also have a new rubber Steath Mystique its only 2mm thick but takes abuse like no other rubber on the market. Ive been climbing in my pair for the past 3 months almost everyday and they are still going strong.
The start of the cruxThe business
Easily the hardest move of the whole climb. Its one of those low percentage move that's always hard and harder from the start. Frustrating but it'll come. I'm feelin' the send coming up here soon maybe the next stint of sunshine?
And last but not least Paul Disdier has done the second accent of All Your Waters today. Major props Paul way to get it done

A Pictureless update : /

Yo it has been going down up here in juneau. The Tea Harbor boulders have birthed new gifts, this time in form of an arete currently dubbed the donkey choker project. Brilliant compression climbing followed by a dynamic jump to a pretty sloper. These boulders have a lot to offer embodied though variety of movement and styles. Im hoping only a few more days and we'll have it done. And speaking of projects at the projects(the crag by the glacier) there is a route that looks to be a bit on the hard side but with some of the most amazing holds at the top of the route that I have my eyes set on. The Hot Mustard project will be one of the most asthetic lines in juneau and will be an instant classic. There's potential up here and Im looking forward to tapping into it!

YO!

Whats up ya'll! My names Jessie and I like to climb rocks and stuff. Ill be posting of my travels and climbing exploits whatever they may be. Right now Im up in Juneau Alaska exploring and developing new boulders and routes, whenever weather permits.... But thanks to global warming the weather has been awsome and stuffs getting done. Yesterday Paul D. and I headed out to the tea harbor boulders and did some new problems as well as the new classic low tension, a super rad lip traverse recently established by our homie brandononly down side you have to heel hook the whole way can you say EWWWWW
I also made my own contributions to this new block. First problem was Poop Arete Direct. This one move wonder is all about the lurching first move off of two bad crimps to a jug. Not amazing but something to do if your bored lol.I cleaned it so it was no choice
Last but not least I did the FA of Spice Girls. A really nice line found by Brandon. I tried it once and it felt really hard but after figuring out some beta and cleanin the top out sent the rig and gave it with its glorious name.and yes I did it with my eyes closed
Two new problems Id say a productive day. But I got Hot Mustard on the mind stay tuned for what I got a brewin' it'll be good with maybe some video!
