A Slow Fall in Laramie

Not too much to say this evening.  The semester has flown by, and, fortunately, my shoulder has finally (hopefully) healed up.  With far too many stories to tell in a single post and without further adieu, I give you a brief photo journalistic synopsis of the recent bouldering developments in the Laramie area . With most of our regulars being exceptionally preoccupied with other business, it's been a little slow; however, some quality problems went up and we're still getting a few reasonably warm days out there.

Open Project (V13?)- El Dakota

 Of course, my season hasn't been without its share of roped climbing.  Oddly enough, I've found myself doing primarily crack climbing and aiding in preparation for (drum roll) Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park, which I will be scaring myself half to death on alongside my dear German friend, Phillip (Hans!) Peters.  Do expect a through followup post within the next 3 weeks!

something new in bikes... the Onda Cycle

and here's the young guy that designed and builds them! Tyler Hadziki, in San Diego (the video shows how cool they spin )

in the above photo, you can see the the rear wheels have a steering handle, and give it a precise rear steering for stunts, tricks, and drifting

Gizmag: "If you really want to have some fun"

Guyism: "Finally, a stunt tricycle exists"

Hight3ch:  "Something that hasn't been done before"

Donizeti is looking for a 1956 Ford F600 COE for sale

He wrote to me:

"Jesse Friend, I am still in need of a cab of a COE 1956 Ford. I have a dream to build a truck trailer.
If u find any cab that could help me? I have some friends there (USA) who could put in a container for me."
