First Dark Horse...

Dark Horse: November 14th, MetroRock North from David Wetmore on Vimeo.



Watch it in full screen if you can or just watch it on Vimeo. I'll have full problems up soon on the Dark Horse website. Getting psyched for Number Two in Everett. Great job everyone. Competitors were amazing.

My New Friends...



They make cool movies. Check it out. Love these fellas--good guys.

Oh brother...

It's been about 4 full days since I last climbed and I'm starting to feel nice and fat. My brother's wedding weekend down in PA was absolutely ridiculous and I'm looking forward to resting some more before getting back into the swing of my normal routine. I haven't really slept at this point for about 4 days, so some quality Z's are needed.

The first Dark Horse seemed to go off without too many hitches. Happy to hear things went well. We had about 200 people come through the door. The Finals show was out of hand. Looking for the next one in Everett to be double that--at least.

Look out for photos coming soon with results. Plus, I'm working on cutting up a video of the day and night show. Yes sir. Love this stuff.

Feels weird not climbing for a few days. I kind of like it. Maybe I'll get a life soon.

Naht.

Dark Horse: IN PROGRESS

First day of setting was bomb-diggity bomb dong. Male and Female Finals problems 1-4 are up and dialed waiting to be destroyed. Cannot wait for Saturday.

It's going to be an absolute shit show. Get psyched.



There is another great-green-giant-blob in the gym somewhere. Where is it? You'll have to come compete to find out. How clever.

Speed Climbing V15

Are you joking me? Midway through the clip, it looks like the guy is speed climbing and the cameraman has to run to keep up. Rad.

PRG: Midnight Burn

My first Midnight Burn was a good time. I thought the setting was done really well, especially in Finals. In fact, I'll probably copy a few moves for the Dark Horse comps. Register now!

But really, sick comp. All the big boys showed up; Rob D, Vasya, Boz, Brian Kim, Stephen Meinhold, and few others that I can't remember. It's always fun to compete against people that you know will most likely kick your ass, but if you try hard enough or they happen to have an off day, you might have a chance to squeak through and place. I ended up in 5th going into finals (there were 25 Open competitors) just ahead of Brian and about 100 points behind Vas, Rob D, and Boz.

Vasya Vorotnikov and Francesca Metcalf ended up on top of their Open categories. Awesome job; always impressed.

And thanks for making the drive Dad and working the camera. You da man.















































































Warming up before Finals...aka...texting mad babes.
