  • One of my websites FEATURED on KOTV The News on 6 Tulsa

    I’m excited to say that a website I created and co-maintain was featured on March 14 on KOTV, The News on 6 in Tulsa, OK. The site is LostTulsaPets.com and is the brainchild of Jack Sampson, a current web design client of mine who owns C/2 Design, a custom material design company. Jack had an…

  • Free Hueco – For Real This Time

    The boulders of Texas have been oppressed for far too long and it is time to do something about it. For over a decade Hueco Tanks has been plagued by access issues and now it looks like climbing may be closed for good. That’s why today I am launching a campaign to free the boulders…

  • Back to Basics – Knots & Webbing – Climb Safe

    I am rethinking the safety of something I’ve been doing for YEARS. Specifically, knots – the use of them, the strength of them, the validity of them. There’s a handful of knots that we learn early on in our climbing days and once we learn them we don’t give much thought to how or why…

  • Cool A/V Things

    I’ve purchased a couple of things recently, well, within the past few weeks that I think are really cool. Both of them have to do with audio and/or video – so if you are not into either you can stop reading now. The first thing is the Ion Audio iTTUSB turntable. This thing is awesome…

  • More Pictures

    Summit is doing great. He had his one week birthday this week. We’re debating whether we should celebrate each week. Maybe that’s a little too much? I guess it makes more sense to have a birthday every year. He’s eating really well and picking his head up – though he still lacks some control of…

  • Nicole 2nds "Witness" – Arkansas

    So Fred Nicole travels from Switz-land – TWICE – just to attempt and send “Witness The Fitness” (aka WTF), the unrated, uber-steep crimpfest roof boulder problem in the Ozarks west of Horseshoe. Hearing about this achievement makes me feel like Oklahoma climbers are missing the boat. Arkansas is mere hours away! We should be doing…

  • Brand New (in 2007)

    It’s amazing to me to look back over the course of a year and realize just how much has changed. It makes me think about how much is going to change in 2007. As most of you who know me (or who visit this site) know, my wife and I are going to have our…
