Here’s a view of the comp route for the upcoming Ouray Ice Festival from the Judges Platform. Yeah, the final ice roof is hard!

I have been discharged with the duty of creating the 2010 Ouray Ice Festival competition route. Here is a short video about a conversation I had with Bill Whitt, head judge, regarding the route:

After indulging last night in Black Metal and Jaegermeister, I paid for my sins today by praying at the alter of Gym Jones. There was pain. There was (tolerable) suffering. There was a loud, resonant ringing In my ears from last night. There was a lot of “weakness escaping my body,”
It was beautiful!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a concert in Salt Lake City with my good friends, the Twights. We saw a Swedish band, Marduk. It was a lively event and they were a rather spirited (though, I’m not sure which spirits) band. Lots of large, drunk men (not us) were in attendance. There were two women (also large). It got me psyched for winter.

Good fun this weekend in Smith Rocks with mr. House!

I just retruned fm a wonderful vacation to beautiful, Mananillo, Mexico. with my new wife, Colleen!We were wedded on November14th and are excitedly starting our new life together in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Since our return on Thanksgiving, winter seems to be taking its time to make its pressence known in Colorado as the mild and dry weather is still allowing for mountain biking and rock climbing in the desert.
