i thought it over and have officially decided to start my (hopefully) never ending roadtrip on or near may 7th! first stop the valley and where ever else i can hitch around to after that. on may 7th my high school obligations end and i am free to do as i please! 32 more days!

granite big walls, laser-cut cracks, best bouldering in the world, and tons of awesome climbers here i come!

And how are you cleverly affording all this?

He's gonna whore himself out... and aaron, usually people dont refer to the best climbing/ bouldering in the world bing in the US. Sure we got lots of awesome climbing , but if you want the best in the world usually it means france or switzerland.

Whats wrong with american climbing? huh?

nothing is wrong with american climbing...all climbing is badass

im just saying that when someone refers to the best climbing/bouldering the majority of climbers dont refer to and crags or boulders in america

I don't, maybe we should start a poll

have you ever climbed outside of the country?

i have some money in the bank, i'm selling my car, and graduation money. after i beef up my rack and buy some big wall gear, i should have about $1500 or so which i figure will last me until the winter when i can get a job in bishop or something.

go to yosemite and tell me if there is better climbing anywhere in the world. the convenience, weather, people, and the rock can't be beat. world class bouldering IN your campsite, big walls a short hike from the parking lot an d tour buses that shuttle you right next to awesome multi-pitch trad. and granite which is the god's rock!

the only thing better than climbing is more climbing and i can't imagine a place with more climbing than ynp!

What about the Rocky Mountain National Park, There is a ton of great climbing in and around R.M.N.P. Also Colorado has awsome weather !!!
