And the Climber Project is born.
Once Forrest get's his tooth into something he will finish it in style. Great strength condition for kiting too so I'd kick in some cash to see it become a reality.  |

Yeah it really is one of the best off season kiteboarding workouts. I noticed a huge difference in my kiting skills this summer. I spent 3-4 days a week at the climbing gym the past winter and my core was in much better shape for kiting by the spring. |

kiting and climbing compliement each other well.
I've had a few easterly days at Rooster, and then driven over to the ozone for the later half of the day--where you can look down on the BV ponds from the top of the cliff.
Fall in the gorge is great
the wall looks great forrest, cool idea. i'll say that I've learned a lot about climbing well from practicing on vertical and slightly less then vertical walls. it really teaches you to use your feet well. |

Don't buy any hardware @ REI (sorry Toby).
Go to a specialty shop like Tacoma Screw in PDX & save some scratch. |
