  • Off day at the Palace

    No pictures from me today. While Kate and Mark seem to have a good day, Ann, Sean, and I are all a bit off our game. After warming up on the always good Churchill Rejects 5.9+, I watched Ann and Sean get hacked up on Battle Axe 5.9+, a cantankerous climb with a nice clipping…

  • Movie: Edward Scissorhands (1990)

    This movie has aged pretty well – I think I liked it better this time than when I first watched it over a decade ago. A man with a warm heart and hands that injure himself and those he loves is such a good symbol. Tim Burton puts him to use for some social commentary…

  • Live Music: Pinback

    Our friend Pete invited us to this show at the Gothic Theatre in Denver in recognition of his birthday. I’d never listened to Pinback before this. Their dual vocals were the first thing I noticed. One of the two singers often sings in a punchy, staccato way while the other stretches each word out into…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Releases

    Recent releases of both the Google Maps API and WordPress have broken a bunch of Geo Mashup installations. The situation required some different versions of Geo Mashup depending on your WordPress version. Thanks to willsballs.com and friendsofthepenan.com for supporting this work. Determine which release you need below, then head for the downloads. Geo Mashup 1.0.4…

  • Movie: Bridge to Terabithia (2007)

    Disney manages to not pounce on every single cliché available in every scene, and even manages a fresh line or two. The characters espouse decent values, and no one is composed of 100% Pure Evil. Their machinery for tear extraction is as honed as ever. It’s enough progress that I didn’t regret watching, but I’m…

  • Live Music: Olga Kern plays in Fort Collins

    This is our fifth performance by Olga, and by far the smallest venue in our local Edna Rizley Griffin Concert Hall. Our only disappointment is that there are still some empty seats. We’d hoped Fort Collins could pack this small house for her, but I suppose this is a reality of being a modern classical…

  • Vedauwoo – Ann leads Ed’s

    One of Ann’s goals for this season was to lead Ed’s Crack, the classic Vedauwoo 5.7. To set ourselves up for an early start we camp near the Nautilus. The weather in the morning is almost unbelievably nice, and despite another party heading for Walt’s Wall, we have Ed’s to ourselves. Ann starts strong on…

  • Sinks Canyon Farewell Hike

    A foggy morning inspires us to wander along one of the loop trails that start at the National Forest campground in Sinks Canyon. As the fog slowly lifts we’re treated to sights full of fall colors and morning calm. Moose Gulch Loop Hike at EveryTrail

  • Sinks Canyon – Scud Area – No Wind!

    At last a day dawns breathless and clear. Bob and Sandy join us as we head up to the Scud Area again to have our fill. It doesn’t take as long as we hope it might. Girls’ Day Out 5.7 – Ann kicks us off on this nice long route with a good variety of…

  • Sinks Canyon – Scud area

    Again the morning is promising. We hike up to the SCUD area and manage to get a few routes in. I decide it’s too windy when I have to reach above me for my rope on rappel. Check out the rope in the picture. Routes: Dog ‘n Dude 5.9+ – good pocket warmup, bigger holds…
