Blogs up! - General Info

Hey everyone that happens to be viewing this blog!
Let me fill you in on what and who is blog is about.
As the name states. This blog is about my group of friends and me. Specifically, this blog is a journal of the weekends I share with my friends, bouldering in upstate New York. Since the fall of '08, we have been outside rackin' up the sends and getting stronger. We also have become very good friends and have had many stories spawn from these weekend sessions. This is a blog of those sends, stories and good times whilst weekend bouldering.

WHO WE ARE?

My name is JP. I am the main writer of the blog.
This is me on Meaning of Life - V5 on Carraige Path in the Gunks, NY.

This is my climbing coach Adam, but he is known fondly as Spook.
Hes a very strong climber, especially with his technique and recently sent his first V8
Here is Spook on Cream Cheese - V6 in Near Trapps at the Gunks, NY

This here is my good friend, Ben.
The strongest climber in our group, Ben is currently working to send Yikes, V9.
Here, he is throwing the heel hook of all heel hooks on The Bhudda - V7 on Carraige Path in the Gunks, NY
Should be in a La Sportiva Ad.
Luke, a very strong climber in our group.
A very good friend of mine and the source of most of our climbing ridiculousness.
Here he is in Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO.
A bit far from the woods of upstate NY.

There are a few other members of our group without rad pictures to describe their awesomeness.

Kyle - Kyle is probably the strongest in terms of... well... strength in our group. However, he is also a VERY good climber and recently sent his first V5! (Rock Lords in the Gunks). The best motivator I know, many members of our group would not have sent different problems without him yelling, "YOU GOT IT!!!", plus the security of a two very strong hands at your spot helps too. Thanks Kyle.

Sam - Sam is new to the wonderful world of outdoor bouldering, with his first adventure being last saturday. However, after his first ever top-out, everyone could tell he was hooked. He also sent a V2 that same day, not bad for a first timer. We are hope to see more of him outside.
