Urban Climber #34, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. A few weeks ago, I had one of those small, yet hugely exciting moments which you get in life from time to time. I tried to keep it secret from those involved but I didn’t manage it – thankfully it didn’t all fall down around my ears [...]
Cliffs, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. I’ve now finished editing and uploading all my America photos. It was a pretty big job in itself! From the thousands I took, I’ve whittled it down to around 450 – A respectable number I thought, and hopefully enough, but not too many, to look through in one sitting. [...]
Truck, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. I’ve added some more photos to Flickr. This is one of my favourites from the Hueco Rock Ranch in Texas. Great place! Looking forward to heading back there in a couple of weeks.
Hello, sorry for the delay. Internet access and time have been sporadic. I’m in Las Vegas, NV at the moment, and currently hiding from the stifling sun. It’s nice to see it though. I haven’t had a lot of time to update here or Flickr recently, although I am trying to stay on top of [...]
The B² Productions have been very busy again of late. After getting the Castle video finished, we spent a wet afternoon in Colorado putting together a short video about me and Benny working our “long term” project in Yosemite, CA – Zorro (V4). I hope you enjoy it. I think it’s our best work yet. [...]
Buttermilks Panorama, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. Another panorama. This time from the Buttermilks in Bishop. The Buttermilks is an amazing, world famous bouldering spot. I really liked it there, but most of the boulders seemed totally huge! The two in the middle of the shot here are Grandma and Grandpa Peabody, and they stand [...]
Half Dome Panorama, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. This is the view from the top of the Four Mile Trail in Yosemite. It was a pretty strenuous walk, but it did make for an amazing view from the top! It’s such an incredible place. This was a panorama made from four photos and stitched together [...]
Zorro, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. Last night we rolled into (the incredibly hot) Phoenix, AZ. I’m still having a great and very full time of it. We certainly seem to be packing an awful lot into the days, which is just how I want it to be. The climbing in Bishop was great – [...]
California, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. Greetings from Bishop, CA. We’re now nearly a week into our roadtrip and things are going well. We’ve had a couple of days in San Francisco, and have been to Yosemite for some excellent climbing and hiking! I have a ton of photos and things to upload, and the [...]
El Capitan, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. The time is approaching! This Friday is the start of the epic roadtrip for 2009! It still doesn’t seem real. I don’t think it ever does until you get there. This time next week we’ll be in Yosemite, staring up at the enormous lump of rock above which [...]
