Saturday Syke



The Mid-Atlantic Season is shifting into high gear, and my mind is slowing becoming consumed with climbing. It is natural to resurrect Saturday Syke.

Jason Kehl creates Art, whether that be shaping novel climbing holds, setting futurist indoor problems, or establishing outdoor test-pieces. The climbing community could use more Art.

Sending "Kumkwats" Variation at Murray Hill, MD




"Kumkwats" starts on the ramp, cuts to the face on the right, and finishes on a jug (to drop off).

I decided to open a line that stays entirely on the ramp and includes a top-out.

Sending "Excavation Project" at Murray Hill, MD



I spent more than 1 session on this project. That rare grit paid off in a send. If you like the crux low to the ground and low precentage, check it out. Mostly likely you won't fall above 7ft, but be careful out there.

Sending "Platform Project" at Murray Hill, MD

This is video evidence of my plan to make massive contributions to local climbing this season. The "Platform Project" was listed as an open project at MD Guides. I am honored to open such a nice problem and hope other people will enjoy it.

Thank you to the people who built the platform.
