I finally ponied up and threw done for a new 17″ Macbook Pro, which along with a copy of FinalCut Studio 2 has given me the ability at long last to edit some of the video I’ve been shooting this year. Of course, this purchase also comes mix-exam season; further ensuring my imminent failure in law school.
Enough of my whining. Here’s a little diddy I threw together from our Spring Break trip to Indian Creek last month. It’s a little rough, but I really ought to stop tweaking and study. Enjoy.
Life has its lessons, and this trip’s lesson was the importance of rest days. Being the unthinking brute that I am, I managed to muscle my way through ten straight days of climbing without a single rest day all trip. The result: some really average days where I didn’t climb much anyways and a lot of almost sending.
Nevertheless, The Creek did not disappoint. And you don’t go there to send anyways (unless you’re this guy), you go there to get your ass handed to you on a dusty sandstone platter. If you’ve never woken up to a desert sunrise Read more…
Here’s a panorama I quickly stitched together, not the cleanest photoshop job (actually GIMP – opensource rocks) but enough to give you the idea. Our last day of climbing in The Creek together Adam and I went up to Reservoir Wall for the first time and in addition to discovering some sweet lines we happened upon the best view of the valley.
