Learning Setting Traning

May 22, 2013

I feel  much better now and got over my jet lag after my  long journey to America. I have got everything settled here, I stay at my boss's friend's house, it's  like home stay and I love it ! I got to play with the kids and have dinner with them It's a very good way to learn new culture.

 It's my room and always look messy!

It has been about a week since I arrived here, I have been working at BRC and setting new routes.  I had the opportunity to set up climbing routes and it's something  I find the most challenging for me so far at work because I am always the slowest. Setting routes  is not a new thing for me but it's always a challenge to make good and enjoyable routes for every abilities.

  

 Always Psyched!

Boulder has lots of outdoor enthusiast and I almost feel like you can't live here if you don't do sports. It's the first time of my life that I see people from different ages do rock climbing , running, biking and any other sports. I am lucky to come here and it's time for me to be back on my training mode to get fit and strong again!

Fortunately I went out climbing at Eldorado Canyon this morning with Mike and Andy, it's something that I was not expected to do today and it was amazing out there, perfect weather but a bit chilly for me there , so we did 4 pitches on mulitipitch climbing at Southwest Buttress. I loved it man! it was great experience and I did learn short rope technique, commands when you have some hearing issue because environment around, so it made me realized how much important about communications and good plan before you take off to the rock!
