First Ascent: David Bowie
Posted on Friday, January 30th, 2009
Sunday, a few weeks back, was a perfect day of bouldering in the Flatirons. My friends Justin Jaeger, Andy Mann, Ben Scott, and TJ Burchfield came out and we went north from Eldorado Canyon to check out some boulders where there were some established lines as well as some projects to try.
The photo is from Andy Mann. It is of one of the projects I sent, which I named ‘David Bowie’ because I think this problem is a Pure, completing the assembly of the segments. I’ve started working on the trailer but that will go back on the shelf for a little while until the DVD is finished.
The night before the first ascent, I had a great workout with Dave Wahl, my strength coach at Athletik Spesifik. Jamie Emerson, the famous bouldering legend known for cutting edge first ascents such as ‘center route in my tennis shoes’ has started training with us and he is incredibly strong. It will be crazy to see what happens when Dave’s program takes him to the next level.
Have a great day!
