>>The Flow (v8) at Horse Pens 40, featuring attempts by Fisher, Slo, and The Sick, with the eventual send by Fisher.
Reignition Sit video, and Moss Rock Comp Results
As expected Jeremy Watson took the Chalky Dreams Bouldering Competition at Moss Rock Preserve by storm on Saturday, sending hard problems like the sit start to Reignition V11 (a second ascent), the 25ft highball Double Clutch V8, Revolver V8, Beef It V9; and Rick James Arete V8/9. Fisher and I did our best to keep up, but we stood no chance. After a hard day of climbing, and a quick sending frenzy at the end to finish my score sheet, Jeremy won, Fisher came in second and I placed third. to see the rest of the results click "continue reading" below.

Comp starts at 9 am
Comp ends at 5 pm

Video Submission from 'Throw
got another submission this week from 'Throw. It's a compilations of lots of horsepens problems. Enjoy.

Craghead Boy makes it big
I thought this day would come, but i didn't think it would come so soon. It seems a member of Team Craghead has made quite a name for himself on his own. This week it was brought to my attention that Team Craghead's own Fisher Wise is featured in the new Prana dealer's catalog. Fisher's mug is prominently displayed on the same page as Chris Sharma, Matt Bosley and James Litz. Well "prominently" might be stretching it a bit, but you know it's him–just inches from James Litz as he sends God Module (V11) with ease– there's Fisher right behind him, ready AND willing to sacrifice his own body to save James' in the unlikely occurrence that James takes a fall. You could say that Fisher was a big part of James' sweep of the Triple Crown this year. Fisher provided just the perfect amount of assurance to allow James to climb to his fullest potential.

Stepchild and some others
a video of some sends from two weekends ago
>>Stepchild, Hammerhead, Genecide
i also got some great footage this past weekend that should be coming out in some videos later in the week, or next week.
also, everybody needs to come out to Moss Rock Preserve this weekend for Chalky Dreams 3, its going to be a great comp and all the money will be going to a great cause. Plus there is going to be some sick sending going on with some local strongmen making the trip in for the comp.

anyone else who is interested in submitting content (videos, photos, information, links, whatever you want) please contact me (winslow) at winslow@craghead.net. I plan on having the new site up at the end of the month and would love to have lots of new content to go with it, so check out the old site and the places where my coverage of the southeast is a bit thin (RRG, Obed, Rocktown, Zahnd, TWall, wherever) send me what you got so that southeasterners have a great archive of media from their areas.
thanks
