switching the blog over to sendit.tv

I've got sendit.tv just kind of sitting around collecting dust and "kylmbing" is too hard to pronounce and remember. So I'm moving my blog to www.sendit.tv. I'll keep kylmbing around, but all the new stuff will be on SendIt .

Donner, Party of 4

Saturday marked the Goodhew clan's first roped climbing outdoors since Lander joined the team a few years ago. We had a blast climbing at Snowshed and Star Wall. We climbed as a party of three with Dylan, Michele and I traded off baby-sitting duties and we had a great time playing in the snow and small run-off streams around the crags. Other highlights include Lander placing his first piece (#1 Camalot i think, it was bomber)while standing on the ground of course.

There is a strong EDGE signal up there so I did some live broadcasting from the crag. Of course the quality isn't great, but considering the network, it's not too bad. Here are some samples. Lander playing with some gear   Star Wall, someone working Bronco or Taste the Pain

The crux of the trip was driving home. First, Ikeda's was closed much to our disappointment, and secondly, Michele and I were both exhausted and could barely stay awake.

For those that came over to jam at the woodie last night, here's the official guide book to the Joaquin Woodie. You can use this to update your 9a scorecards :-)

Straight Up

While cleaning out the closet I found this old Straight Up Climbing Team hat. I'm not even sure where it came from, nor can I remember who was on the Straight Up Climbing Team, except maybe Timy Fairfield. Anyway, Straight Up was a climbing hold company, I'm not sure what ever happened to them. They made good holds back in the day, I even have an old one on the woodie.

Jungle Fever (aka hardest V8 ever)

After a mere 29 days and 200+ attempts, Jungle Fever is finally done. I think most people consider JF your average V8, but for some reason, I found this one harder than any other V8 I've done. Weird. Anyway, I had the livestream running and caught the ascent here . The best part of the video is listening to Lander cheer me on.

Trying to do the List

Here's an incredibly boring video (I was just testing our mobile livestreaming app) of my Tuesday night session on the woodie. I was trying to complete a dozen of my moderate problems. I came close, but missed out on a few. Here are the problems I was trying.

Check out SendIt.tv

I've created a new blog called Send It . The new blog takes full advantage of some new features from Kyte, including a fully integrated Facebook application. I'm trying to get people to post their climbing videos and photos there. Check it out, and add the Facebook application if you're on Facebook.

I'll keep using kylmbing as my personal (mostly boring) blog of day-to-day climbing stuff, and put the interesting stuff on Send It.
