	Back Home in Vedauwoo: August 9-10, 2008 After a summer of climbing in the high country, it was really wonderful to spend a weekend on the windswept rocks of Vedauwoo.
	Not Climbing the Petite Grepon: August 2, 2008 We hiked, we looked, we turned around. Some climbs are best left for later.
	Magical Chrome Plated, etc, etc: July 12, 2008 Good weather and a long break from climbing lead Mark and I to finally finish out long fun climb up the Pear formation on Lumpy Ridge.
	Climbing Renold's Hill in Vedauwoo: June 21-22, 2008 Even after spending years of weekends at Vedauwoo, there are still new places to explore. On this trip, we checked out the Reynold's Hill formation for the first time, and found new camping in the northeast corner of the forest.
	Climbing Osiris: June 14, 2008 Mark and I learned a few key things on this fun, long climb. 1: The rope we were climbing on was only 50m long and 2: Never give Mark the topo.
	Climbing on the Holdout: June 8, 2008 The wind was howling when we pulled into the parking area at Vedauwoo. We decided it was a good day to check out the south east face of the Holdout!
	Climbing The Pear Buttress: May 31, 2008 This long, hard climb has been on our 'To-Do' list for quite some time. On this Saturday we got up early, hiked out, and climbed one of the longest, hardest, most beautiful climbs we have done in years.
	Memorial Day Weekend in Vedauwoo: May 24-26, 2008 After a grand debate, we decided to spend the long weekend at Vedauwoo, hoping to relive some of the great days of last summer. Unfortunately, the weather was less than perfect, but we all had a great weekend.
	First trip to Vedauwoo of the New Season! May 17-18, 2008 The weather finally broke. Doug and Liz joined Mark and I on a perfect weekend in Vedauwoo to kick off the summer.
	Climbing Greyrock Mountain: April 27, 2008 Our first training exercise for climbing the Grand was to hike 4 miles, climb 7 pitches and hike 3 more miles back to the car in an afternoon. It hurt, but we did it!
	Climbing near Button Rock Reservoir: April 19, 2008 Sean and Dylan come out for a sunny day of cragging with us. The weather was beautiful, the climbs were hard, and the location was perfect.
	Climbing Lumpy Ridge: April 5, 2008 Mark and I braved bitter cold winds and snow to try and get in a climb or two at Lumpy ridge. We did the first two pitches of a 5.7 on the Pear before the real snow moved in.
	Trip to Shelf Road: March 28-30, 2008 We head down to the warm, sunny limestone at Shelf Road again for a weekend of sport climbing. This time, Adam and Jackie came a long with us to check out the huge, bolted, rock playground.
	Exploring Combat Rock: March 15, 2008 It's rather surprising that Mark and I have never checked out this large rock halfway up the Big Thompson Canyon. On this early spring day, we hiked out to check out some exciting slabs and roofs at this very interesting crag.
	Climbing in Eldorado Canyon: March 8, 2008 We joined every trad climber in the greater Boulder area for a day of screaming, throwing ropes and stepping all over each other in Eldorado Canyon.
	Climbing at The Turkey Perch: March 1, 2008 Mark and I took advantage of a really warm, beautiful Saturday in the mountains northwest of Colorado Springs. The South Platte region offered some fantastic crack climbing on a beautiful formation for a great day.
	Climbing at North Table Mountain: February 24, 2008 Mark and I thought we'd have a nice day in the sun, and evidently so did about 500 other people. But the weather did not quite cooperate.
	Climbing in Eldorado Canyon: February 10, 2008 The forecast said it would be nice, but we were greeted with clouds and snow when we arrived. We decided to climb anyway.
	Camping and climbing in Joshua Tree NP: January 18-21, 2008 Since I was back in the area, we flew out Mark, met up with Bruce and spent an awesome long winter weekend climbing all over the beautiful rock formations of Joshua Tree.
	Sneaking away to the Palace: November 18, 2007 Took a few hours off on a warm Sunday to enjoy the granite at the Palace. Mark enjoyed it the most. His bruises from two good lead falls are worse than Vedauwoo!
	Climbing at the Palace: October 28, 2007 Fall is the best time of year to climb the sunny spires in the Poudre Canyon.
	Back to the Palace: October 20, 2007 A cool but sunny fall day turns out to be the perfect chance to climb some fantastic towers at the Palace.
	Fall Day in Vedauwoo: October 6, 2007 We made a last minute decision to meet Ann and Dylan at Vedauwoo for one last sunny day on the rock before the snow of a Wyoming Fall descended on the area.
	Anniversary Weekend in Estes Park: September 28-30, 2007 We found ourselves a cute little B&B in one of the most amazing climbing spots in the world, and I LED ALL OF THE CLIMBS!
	Climbing Ed's Crack! Again! September 22, 2007 The fall colors are out in Vedauwoo, so it was time to return to one of our favorite climbs: Ed's Crack.
