Savoeun and I went climbing out at Sven Slab on Sunday and had a little unexpected adventure. The first route we hopped on was a lovely crack called One for the Road. I was half way up the first pitch, and thoroughly enjoying myself, when I started to get attacked by bees. I soon realized that the ledge at the top of the first was the home for a hive of killer bees. Bummer. Sav and I managed to retrieve all our gear, but I ended up getting stung in the face three times! So what’s it like getting stung in the face by killer bees?
It sucks. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s pretty uncomfortable. It’s a little comical too. I can’t smile or laugh and keep my eyes open at the same time!
The past two weekend I’ve spent climbing in Red Rocks, Nevada. In these four short days I’ve climbed some of the most amazing, long, and fun routes of my climbing career. Of particular note is a route called Community Pillar. Now this climb might not be your typical “classic” route, but it was HILARIOUS. The amount of squeezing through improbable holes and up tight chimneys you do is mind blowing. And watching people attempt to go through holes they are fairly certain will get them stuck is entertainment like nothing else. Here’s a video I made for my climbing partner Erin who couldn’t join me because she’s in Nova Scotia:
You can check out the photos I took from both weekends here, and here.

Jeff: “Ok, maybe I can help you. You know jelly wrestling?” Steve: “Jelly wrestling?” Jeff: “Which is basically jelly with women wrestling in it.” Steve: “We’re familiar with the concept yes.” Jeff: “Ok, well, think about this afterwards, after the wrestling. What happens to the jelly?” Steve: “The jelly.” Jeff: “Because you could sell that. That… is a missed opportunity. You could bottle and sell it.” Steve: “Ok.” Jeff: “You’d take the women out first, obviously.” Steve: “Good.” Jeff: “There’d just be a hint.” Steve: “Are you in any way moving in the direction of relevance?” Jeff: “Relevance? Steve, do you realize what I just invented? Porn Jelly. The human races’ two most favorite things meet at last. In dessert form.” Steve: “Jeff!” Jeff: “There’s a lot of lonely people out there Steve. What do lonely people enjoy? Puddings and porn. Now, for all your needs, pudding porn. It’s a girlfriend in a jar except it’s jelly.”
