THE LAND OF JAGGED ROCKS
Hey folks,
Just checking in from the famous OC of Californ-I-A. Just had a couple of incredible days in the state of Colorado, and we’re now regrouping at my friend Chris Schell's house before heading out to the High Sierras...
Colorado was sweet; Max Kniewasser, Dylan Bruce, Daniel Connor, Chris Schell and I got a couple of great runs on Oh-Be-Joyful, as well as a run on the Upper East River, where I got to run a scary, very fun 60 foot cascade called Stupid Falls. Great start to the trip, and I’m excited to get on the never-ending slides of the Sierras!
Here are a couple of pics from our recent (mis)adventures in Colorado... More pics and video coming soon.

Halfway through Utah on I-70.
Anyways, life is really tough around here...
