Tail Spin!!!
Its been a couple weeks since some local development has occurred. Prime November conditions have let me turn my focus to taking longer trips to some areas I haven’t spent much time at this year.

Sunfish = the Business
Its November and we are having some really unseasonable weather (I am not complaining!). Time to take advantage and get outdoors.

I headed out to Sunfish Pond to try and take down the stout Tailspin Project, give some solid attempts continue reading….
Kellogg Mountain
Its been a while since I went up to Kellogg Mountain. I found this gem of a place back in late August. The high alpine feel is unique to the area, even though it only sits just above 2100 ft.

The heavy rain the night seemed to be dried away and what appeared to be a beautiful day ahead, was quickly shattered continue reading….

On Sunday, I took Chris and Surgio out to see the new boulders at McCraney Run. Original post here. Most of the obvious lines were sent and was a great day overall. There are probably a few more lines waiting to be done as well as the low start to Odysseus, which is still a continue reading….
