Carmel Bouldering

Since Castle Rock is too warm, we headed down to Carmel for some kick ass beach bouldering on decent sandstone.
We spotted that overhanging line which freaked us out since it was probably about 18 feet tall.

Crab Town Bouldering

Near Garrapata state beach, we stopped at Crab Town for some great bouldering on solid rock.

Nice warmup route. Benoit cruzed it as well, which was not to Rob taste!

Shouldery and powerful moves.

Nice easy arete.

WOW! So much better than the gym.

High ball quality problem.

Carmel Meadows Bouldering

On Sunday, Rob, Brian, John, Benoit and Estelle went to Carmel for a fun bouldering session. We first stop at Carmel Meadows for some exciting sandy bouldering.

Estelle and Benoit cruzing.

Nice slab. We were not bold enough to do the direct line right in the middle. Next time.


Too few boulders on the beach, but that one was great! Ask Rob, he took home a large chunk.

Mechanic Time

My motorcycle has not been working too well lately. Benoit and I decided to check the carburetor. We got the ramp out of the frame and were wondering what to do next!


It is a bit messy.

Apple Tree

Lucas is hiding somewhere in the garden. Try to find him!

Bath time.

Benoit and Lucas Scooting Derby Park

We are spending more and more time at Derby park since it is just a few blocks from our house.
