Joseph "Joe" Holway is an amazing person, and a new-found friend. He was given in incredible opportunity to set off on what some may call "the journey of a lifetime." Except this is what he does, his life IS made up by these journeys. Always psyched and ready for more, there's no stopping him from taking his bike wherever he wants to take it. Below are a few videos from his latest trip from NYC to GSC. I have also attached a link to his blog where you read about his daily encounters, mentally and physically. Geshido, Mac Joe's Blog: http://josephholway.wordpress.com/ NYC to GSC from Search and State on Vimeo. Some short training tips, and the result of when it all comes together! Geshido, Mac Reminiscing about a recent trip, amazing how similar the experience was. Geshido, Mac Almighty Dolomites. Rooting around the big, pale mountains By Andrew Bisharat | 07-20-2014 http://eveningsends.com/climbing/almighty-dolomites/ “There’s people down here!”
“Yeah, watch it, you Austrian pigs!” Jesse Mattner and I were yelling to no one—no one who could possibly hear us anyway. Rockfall rained and we cowered closer to our anchor of 80-year-old pitons, protruding like little black roots, necrotic and flexing in the shattered stone. We were a mere 300 feet below the summit of the Cima Grande, one of the six great north faces of the Alps. Toasters and microwaves whistled down, dislodged by a clumsy team on the summit. You always hear the biggest ones before you see them. A sound that shrieks like an incoming missile. “I’m too scared to move,” I said. But that wasn’t the main problem. We had no good idea where on this massive mountain we were. Nothing in the topo I’d uploaded to my iPhone made sense anymore. And, of course, it was getting dark. Thunder clapped. Jesse is my good friend from Denver and, since we both love espresso, chianti and long routes, we had been dreaming about coming to the Dolomites for over a year. Jesse is 31 years old, 6’2” when he slouches, and a buck-ninety-five on a lean day. He’s got the flexibility of an iron rod and gets worked on the overhangs, which, ironically, he enjoys most. When it comes to the run-out techy slab stuff, he swears he hates it, but he’s as light-footed as a dancer and cool-headed as a sniper. “I was cursed when god made me good at slab climbing,” Jesse once groaned sadly. A buddy sent this my way in Germany, but it slipped my mind until recently. It's a classic! and If you have Netflix I HIGHLY recommend watching the full 30min film. Geshido, Mac And this...
Some Bouldern, Klettern, and a bit of suffering this week. Geshido, Mac Some comic relief for your mid-week shenanigans. Enjoy! Geshido, Mac http://www.outdoorresearch.com/blog/stories/fun-with-catalog-photos-commitment Fun With Catalog Photos: Commitment
By Brendan Leonard and Hilary Oliver, July 14, 2014 We have hundreds of beautiful photos from talented photographers, featuring our athletes in action—but we never quite get the chance to use all of them, or, as we've found to be more fun, Photoshop in speech bubbles and dialogue between the athletes in those photos. But now we're going to make time for that. So every Tuesday, we'll take another image from our stock photos and make a comic out of them. Hope everyone got out and enjoyed the weekend. Here's to a new week with new opportunities!
Geshido, Mac This will be the second time on the history of SendingPsych that a bouldering flick has made the cut to be great stoke for the weekend, enjoy! Geshido, Mac Hopefully everyone has been able to get in some climbing. Especially for us in AZ, can't catch a break with the Monsoons up north or the heat down south. Keep trying! This week's VoW is mainly focused on Val di Mello, the "Yosemite of the Alps" in northern Italy. Geshido, Mac Kundalina from Sebastian Lanza on Vimeo. JOY DIVISION from divisionevideo.com on Vimeo.
