Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Friday, March 16, 2012. Somebody else commented so I'm writing another Blog Post. I have a little rule, that I'll write another blog if I get two comments. While somebody commented so now I'm left trying to come up with a post that won't have you clicking back before you finish this sentence. Thanks to the Squamish Bouldering Coop. Which happens to be 20 seconds from my work) I've been climbing 4 days a week. Anyways this year I'd like to crack the Bubbles V10. Feel free to...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: Things overheard
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2012/04/things-overheard.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Monday, April 2, 2012. As I was sitting in the climbing gym, a couple on their first date stopped in and supplied a couple gems. How many push-ups do you think I can do? Fails at 20. Girl doesn't looked impressed. Check this dyno out! Sideways dyno from standing on a ledge on the vertical wall to a huge jug on the 45 wall. Swings and faceplants. I used to play hockey.". I thought hockey players were bigger.". Laugher from the peanut gallery. Here try this.". April 3, 2012 a...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: September 2011

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Time to bring a little humor to the blog. These past few months my blog has been a bit of a downer for me. I was super upset about the Duncan situation. I don't want climbing arguments or enemies. I thought I'd tell a little story about me climbing in Australia. I went to Australia to visit a good friend and climb the amazing sandstone in the Grampians. Well they of course pictured me freesoloing the Tapia Wall. I was very tempted to leave ...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: June 2011
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Thursday, June 30, 2011. More then half way home! I'm a unstoppable climbing machine! Or at least that's my mantra before I go to sleep each night. My body is sore! I don't think climbing five days a week would be so bad if I wasn't in the middle of a training program. Basically I've been forced to do weights and pull-ups on climbing days. It's making it difficult to feel 100% while climbing. Though I do feel stronger, it hasn't lead to many new sends. Do the highball proje...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: May 2013
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Monday, May 20, 2013. 13 years of trying, 13 years of failure, 13 years of doubt and 13 years of soul crushing defeat. Bad day low was the reason I created the list of The 7 Terrors. It's the crown jewel in destruction of my climbing psyche. V4, 9 feet tall, one move into a V0, two rails that slash across a beautiful face and without a doubt my single longest running project. That is until today! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Six foot four and full of Muscles. Of bikes and men.

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Friday, September 7, 2012. New post about some old times. Sorry its been so long. Been a bit busy. My wife and I had our first child. A little crusher named North. He now boulders harder than me which is impressive and sad, seeing as he's only 4 months old and can campus my projects. Anyways, I thought I'd come out of hibernation with a post about my first climbing experiences and all the fun mistakes I made in the beginning. So a couple of weeks later Dan said he had found...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: Fear and Loathing on my way to Vegas
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2011/12/fear-and-loathing-on-my-way-to-vegas.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Friday, December 9, 2011. Fear and Loathing on my way to Vegas. Today is the five year anniversary of my most infamous drive from Hueco to Las Vegas. Now before I get started I thought I talk about a little self reflection I've done over the years since this trip. In the past I've always pictured myself as Sal Paradise, Raoul Duke sort of character in all my adventures. But after reviewing my memories I might be more Neil Cassidy, Dr. Gonzo than I once thought. I'd like to ...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: November 2011
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Thursday, November 24, 2011. Climbing is climbing is climbing. Funny thing happened to me down at the Tea Shop today. I was talking to a regular customer about climbing when a another person walked in and overheard my conversation. I talking to my regular about her interest in getting into climbing. I mentioned that Squamish has a bouldering coop. Well the gentalman who had just walked in stated that Squamish didn't have a climbing gym. I asked if he'd ever been bouldering?

I thought I'd write a blog post as I sit around waiting for the apocalypse. There's only a few more hours till I beam up to heaven so I might as well give you all one last blog while you experience the worst five months ever. The new fifth horseman Osama is going to be the worst! But I've also gone to physio for my pulled groin and now strained right knee. My we...

Matt Climbing Into The Beyond!: July 2011
http://yukonerdownunder.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Matt Climbing Into The Beyond! Tuesday, July 19, 2011. This past week I was over on the island doing some family stuff. Mostly eating, drinking and laughing it up. However I did manage to sneak up to Duncan for a day of sandstone bouldering in one of the hidden gems on the island. Seriously I'd tell you where it is but you have to cross private property and well you could screw it up so I can't go back. That and it's a 45 minute hike up hill. You'd be too lazy to go there anyways. To his second point I a...
