CRUSHING!!
My buddy Austin and I decided to charge through one hell of a cold front and climb on some boulders up north. We met up with Ryan and Paul and headed to Eldo. Climbing was a struggle but we managed to top out a few lines. This video features “The Elegants” on the Lost boulder.

Hey Everyone! Here’s an update on the Technical Rescue Instruction Project, and if you haven’t yet go check them out!
T.R.I.P. is an acronym. It stands for the Technical Rescue Instruction Project. It is a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation devoted to education. Our mission is to increase public safety through the provision of technical rescue instruction.
You can Check them out on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/TheRescueProject
As most of you know, TRIP has not accepted a single penny in terms of donations or payment for courses all year.
This is because we are still applying for our 501(c)3 status.
By the end of the year we will have been incorporated for 8 months, which means we can submit the forms and get our definitive ruling on tax exemption.
In order to do that, we need to get some donations to show public support. We do not need a lot of money, just something to put on our financial tables to show public support on our IRS form 1023.
If you would like to help TRIP continue to pursue its educational mission, please send a check payable to The Technical Rescue Instruction Project, Inc. to the following address:
