No commentsWhenever I’m wheeling a cart around the grocery store or the shop floor at work I am hard pressed not to kick off, jump on, and ride that cart for a few meters.
I hope I never grow out of this desire.

I’m in Pittsburgh for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Check out the new feature video on the left, don’t forget to submit some hot MSPaint costumes, and hopefully you’ll hear some exciting PA stories come Tuesday evening.
Yours forever and ever,
Mike D.
Here’s a bit of a video montage of us climbing our hearts out on Subline: a 5.10 or 5.11 at Main Cliff. It’s really pumpy and extremely fun.

It was a wild day.

This weekend was intense. We’ll start with a quick recap. You’ll probably see more in depth write-ups in the Features section over the next few days.
On Saturday, Tony and Paulette got married. It was extremely fun. I got to spend some time chatting with Dave and Michelle and worked on an extremely elaborate wedding climbing setup that will be explained with pictures tomorrow.
Sunday, I started the day with some cleaning and followed that with some climbing. Irene, Joel, and I went to Main Cliff for some of this season’s best climbing. Irene led wishbone and then we zipped up subline and vector.
I got a video of Irene on Subline. The beginning has a huge overhang that is both brutal and exceptionally fun. This video will likely go up tonight.
The weekend ended with some pulled pork and a bummer trip to the grocery store where I brought the wrong set of coupons. I’ll have to go back at some point this week to get reimbursed.
