Date Night


Date Night is a movie about a married couple that is trying to spice up their relation ship and not be so......dull any more. So they go for dinner in New York city and try to get into this restaurant but they hadn't made a reservation and the place is booked. So when a party's name was called but they we rent there so Phil and Claire took there reservation. While there there couple of guys take them out back and ask them we res the flash drive there confused with this but its because they took the reservation from somebody who stole a flash drive from a gang lord so through the whole movie there trying to evade bad guys and find the people with the flash drive. I thought I could have been better but there were a few laughs and I thought Steve Carell could have few more break lose moments but I like it over all.

Cats and Dogs


An old time myth is that dogs hate cats and cats hate dogs. I think this is highly mistaken because look at this picture. Holt the cat and Frisco and Hank are cuddeling on the couch together. Ok in the begining they werent to freindly with each other but now look at this they are prectically best buds. I just hope other cats and dogs get along as well as these guys do.

Mountain Lion Tracks




When I was on the recent hike with my dad we found a mountain lion track. What was even more interesting was the rabbit tracks right next to the lion tracks. Sadly I stepped in track a little but it still has the clear w shape to it. We know that we have lions around but I didnt think they would be so close to the house. Hopefully I never have to be face to face with one.

Bouldering Project


On my little mountain theres tones of rock. Sadly most of it is to crumbly to climb on, although I have found a little overhanging problem in one of the caves. To me the problems pretty hard and its even harder if you start from a sit down. I havent gotten very far with it because I really dont have the strenght for it....yet. It starts of with a horizontal crack then you heel hook and from there its nothing but crimp and pinch holds. Hopefully ill get one of these days.

11 point buck rack


While I was having a nice hike with my dad he saw a huge buck rack just laying in the desert. We incpected it and saw some of the spinal cord was stil in tact. We thought maybe a mountain lion had gotten it but then realized it probably died of old age. Theres even some hair still on the skull so maybe it died this winter. I think it s a pretty good find dont you?

Stone Age Climbing Gym


Another place I like to climb Is Stone Age Climbing Gym. Stone Age is in Albuqurque and is the biggest climbing gym in New Mexico. What can I say this place is tons of fun from the 60 foot high walls to the two giant bouldering caves this place has got it all. The main reason I come to Stone Age is to get stronger for climbing and to get in shape for the 15 pitch needle climb in the Sandias this fall. One thing I need to do here is get tested for lead climbing so I can do there gigantic arch. This is just a really good place to mess around in.

White Rocks New Mexico











White Rocks one of the best places to climb in New Mexico. I has everything from easy acces to stunning veiws and above all great rock. Also the people that climb there are extremely nice to. I remmember a group of guys accidentally tied their rope to the top anchor and another gut lent them his brand new rope to go get theirs. THe place that I climb in white rocks is awesome beacause the climbing grades range from 5.4 to 5.12 so theres a pretty good variety. And the rock has really fun little edgers and tond of little finger pockets since its mostley volcanic rock. Anyways it's my favorite place to climb and I hope to go there more often.
