Trafectallejo Strikes Again

Although John already stole my thunder and posted the video on his blog, I thought I'd post it again in case some of you missed it. That's right, the amazing duo that is ***Trafectallejo*** has paired up once again to bring you coverage of another awesome Touchstone comp...

In other news, Justin has made it home after crushing Hueco :) and is accustomed to falling asleep before 10pm and waking up way before 7am. I wonder if this is the same man? Strange.

Yosemite Fall '09 (Part Two)

I fear the time has come... snow has started to descend. Although many of us will have to wait until next season to send some of our projects, there were many great ascents this fall. The good news is that now that finals are over and my break has officially begun I have been able to compile a brief summary of some of the events from this fall. This video unfortunately is lacking; it neither contains all of the great events nor all of the great people.

As with any closing door, another opens. After spending xmas with some of the fam, I will make the pilgrimage to Hueco for the first time, albeit a brief trip :)

Stay tuned...

Lensbaby Photos

Hey all, I'm going to be submitting two photos to Lensbaby, and if Lensbaby likes them then I get my pics published in their book (cool) and then I get a free copy of their book (cooler). Sooo... here are some pics below that I'm thinking of submitting, and to the right is a poll I'd like you to take, letting me know which ones you like. You can pick multiple pictures (no limit to number). This will give me a better idea about which pics I should submit. Thanks peeps. Update: Since I forgot "Purple Flowers" in the poll... there is another poll to the right... if you like that pic click yes... I'll work out the math later. Thanks.

Training Program

Many of you know that Justin and I have been training a lot lately, but what many of you DON'T KNOW is that we haven't been training for climbing. We recently realized that we make an excellent duo on the gymnastics floor and have joined the Olympics. Check out our mad skills...

Yosemite Fall '09 (Part One)

Although I couldn't imagine having a bad weekend in Yosemite, this past weekend stood out among the rest. Not only did I get to hang out with THE Peter Newman (always a huge pleasure), but this weekend was the first bouldering trip I have had with my close friend Shannon since last Thanksgiving and early December when we went to Bishop together. Shan had a rough year and took a large chunk of time off from climbing. She is now offically back, in shape and crushing. Although I think she still could have sent without Justin Timberlake, JT was psychin' us up all weekend long. Shan it's so nice to have you back climbing... it just hasn't been the same without you.

South Africa Part Twelve: The Comeback

Alright so I've been back from South Africa for over a month now and I still have lots of videos to post. I apologize for not having any current videos. I think we've spent the last 2 or 3 weekends in the valley which has been awesome and I've purposely left the camera for fear that I will be buried in videos and have to quit school. No bueno. However I'll bring the camera out this weekend and do some catching up. Can't wait.

Although I wouldn't normally think that I'd like videos dedicated to myself... this one is actually pretty funny. It sort of illustrates the story of my recovery. A month after hurting my knee I started climbing really easy = no falling, and by the end of the trip, 2 months later, I was able to start working some lower projects and taking some falls.

View discretion is advised due to severe dorkiness. Cue that link to about 30 seconds and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Here is another video of a bouldering area at Rocklands called Riverside. I apologize for the duplicate problem of me on a warm-up... boorrrrriiiinggggg. But the rest is cool.

Plastic Party - TBS5 @ GWPC

Recently, I had the very happy privilege of being the official videographer for the Touchstone Bouldering Series 5 comp at GWPC. It was a great celebration, filled with much rejoicing, libations and pizza. I also felt privileged to be part of a new phenom known as TRAFECTALLEJO, a duo (comprised of John Vallejo and Becky Trafecanty) of unparalleled talent and radness in the photography and videoography industry that is now sweeping the comp scene. They're so hot all the climbing gyms across America are whispering Trafectallejo and scheming to try and be a part of this massive media movement.
