Summer Syke

So the summer heat has set in here at the New River Gorge. It happens every year and every year I dread the end of cool temps. Its really hard to stay psyched when you have been spoiled all winter with some of the best untouched boulders in amazing temps. I've been doing everything I can to stay psyched, watching climbing movies, keeping up with friend's travels, and cleaning boulders. A friend of mine, Jason, was telling me about the fern boulders all winter, and getting on me about checking them out. I had heard of fern before but never really heard anything good about the area. You can't always go with what others say. So after sending all my year long projects, I was on the hunt for a new one. I decided to check out fern, with no expectations. I turned left turn to go up the creek, and had my mind blown. I'm walking around like a kid in a candy store, behind every turn, tree, and water fall was another amazing line. Hiking around in fern is like being in land of the lost, in the back of your mind your thinking a T-Rex is going to snatch you up. Its beautiful, I cant even explain how good it is. Its to hot to be working hard lines but I have recently come into a partnership with a really good friend of mine. We're writing a guide book. So between making topos and cleaning boulders at fern, i have more then enough to keep me busy.This video is a few from fern.  Nothing to hard just some fun lines. Enjoy.
