One Day Away!

Late night jitters, getting ready for the trip! Over the past couple days we have added new people to the roster, extended stays, stocked up on new fresh gear from the shop and have been training in the gym (or sitting on the couch), working out and getting stoked.

For people who are not in the know, Balance is doing a west coast tour (if you aren't familiar with Balance, go to www.balanceclimbing.com right now and catch up) stopping by all of the gyms and the best bouldering and climbing areas along the west coast! The crew is:

Jessie "Shakazulu" Palamino












Hunter "York" Brown a.k.a Hunner Bone












Paul "Man Strong" Disdier












Rachael "Lady Strong" Tarver












Hippie-Rob Cadmus













Brandon "The Sewing Machine" Howard.












We are all packing into a van for the trip of a lifetime. The itinerary is crazy, a dream sheet of the finest rock. Check it out:

Squamish
Leavenworth
Smith Rock
No.Cal.
Trinity Aretes
Bay Area - Castle Rock & Mortar Rock
Yosemite
Bishop
Mt. Charleston
and everything in between...

This is the first (and least exciting) entry in what is going to be a daily report on the progress of our trip; complete with videos, pictures, words and shop promos. Hopefully it will inspire everyone to get out and climb, travel, meet people and have amazing adventures. Go out with your friends, wether it is out for the day to the sea cliffs, or an epic road trip over the next month (YEAH!!). If you have suggestions for places we should hit up, let us know. If we are going to be in your area and you want to climb, let us know. If we are going to be in your area, and you want to hook us up with a place to crash...

Alright, more tomorrow. I'm checking out. I need to sleep.

Hunter and all.I am looking at the pic of ?? top pitch of Zebra/Zion. It makes me think back on our great climb a few years ago Hunter. Did you all do the stiff start?? It looks like you all had a great day. Are there any bad days on a great road trip??
