Well lots to talk about. I got a bunch of cool photos for this blog, all taken by other people (some of whom were total strangers). So lemme dive right in. This first picture here is from Cochise Stronghold. The biggest rock is called Sheepshead and if you can see the big crack going up the face of it, you will see the climb we did on it. We had amazing weather and the route to ourselves. It was pretty awesome.
This is also at Cochise. I love to climb and I get to do it 7 days a week. It's not always in the mountains but it is still pretty sweet. The company I work for out here just made a big achievement. We got into the SHARP program. That pretty much means OSHA regards us as a super safe company, which means a lot in this field of work. Anyways, that is kinda cool. We also get to do some odd jobs here and there instead of always washing windows.
This picture here is from a day when we were asked to remove sun shades from windows. You can see the louver hanging off of my harness. This is me in my office chair. We have a couple of promising leads of some other cool work. We are waiting to hear back about two really tall buildings we might be working on (one is 20 stories tall!). And for those of you who know anything about fashion, we are working on the Barney's of New York building. I guess its quite a high end clothing store; occasionally closing it to the public so celebrities can shop alone in it kinda thing. We also still go down to Tucson from time to time to work at the university down there. We don't have many more of those trips left though.
Here is a picture my buddy took on the top of a climb in the McDowell mountains. They are very close to Phoenix and can almost feel remote at times (*Note: Ignore the suburban sprawl in the background).
This is a really cool climb called The Razors Edge. Some guy was nice enough to send me this photo he took.
This past weekend was a long weekend in Joshua Tree for me. A few buddies and I took a climbing trip out there. Lots of crazy looking rock formations there. It was great going back again. I have not been there since about when I started this blog. It's neat to see the progress I have made since then. It is also crazy to think how much has gone on since then. Time really flies, doesn't it?
<-----(If you look closely at this picture you can see me getting high on some of California's finest crack)
So as always... lot's going on, and lots to look forward to. In April I move into my first real apartment. I got a studio near Old Town, Scottsdale. Seems like a pretty cool area and it's close enough to work that I can bike. I also get to go back to the Midwest for my cousin's wedding. Then a cool concert and a climbing trip to Red Rocks, Nevada. So stay tuned, folks... the adventure never stops.
Madly,
Danjerous
