Monday, 22 June 2015. Warning- This blog contains near death stories, typical Joe injury stories, and a happy ending ;). Warning- This blog contains near death stories, typical Joe injury stories, and a happy ending ;). My body fell apart yet again on January 10. 2015 That's right. I know the date. Never a good sign. Due to copious nocturnal beverages Tyler was incapacitated the day of the competition. I prepaid. I was going. Did I break the hold? Did I slip off a foot and kick the wall? Back to level one.

Tuesday, 2 September 2014. Battle of the Spiders. Enjoying my chill mini trip to Lions Head. What have I been up to the last 3-4 months? Well, I pulled a classic Joe 2 or 3 months ago and injured my pulley yet again (10th time? But, who's counting here?

One two months ago I decided to go on a 9 day trip to Lions Head with my buddy JT. The trip was epic! Our rest days wer...

Tracking your progress by keeping a journal of your training and training goals. Having a like-minded training partner. Don't ask/ ...

Joe Skopec: November 2014
http://joeskopec.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 12 November 2014. Where should I start? Maxim Ropes hooking me up huge! I bolted this epic route back in March of this year and by the end almost regretted ever starting.

No spare bits meant no more drilling. Main crux of "Bromance". This route clocks in at 65 feet long, which breaks down to a technical crimpy start, to huge thuggy t...

Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Ah, the first (of many hopefully! Beautiful spring days of the year. Nine degrees and nothing but sun! I spent the day at to Devil's Glen with Jared and Justin. I had one route in mind: The Project. A line I bolted last year during the winter and have been dreaming of the moves ever since. Step One: Get to the crag. Let the epic hike begin!
