http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/ After doing a personal blog for over a year now I am pleased to have a few people who actually enjoy reading about what goes on in my life. I first started joekindkid.com simply to keep my family and friends up on current happenings and communicate what I have going on. It was something a little more creative than a mass email. I find the blog to only have a purpose if people read it, so before I go any further….thank you and respect, to those that read.  en-us http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/ http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joey-kinder-gergory2-sq.jpg 8/17/09 - Coincidence - La Sportiva athlete Joe Kinder doesn't think so... This video is of footage of a profound year in rock climbing for me. I have accomplished major goals that I have had for years and I am proud to have this high quality segment of some of them. It is a great honor to represent the best shoe company in the world and with these proper tools I am more confident in my future goals. THANKS to La Sportiva. http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe_kinder_-_pro_blog_5 joe_kinder Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:22:00 EST http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe-kinder-pumpinghate-sq.jpg Joe Kinder - Pro Blog 5 8/17/09 - Coincidence - La Sportiva athlete Joe Kinder doesn't think so...

The first ascent of The Re-Up (5.14d) was made in perfect timing to avoid the heat. I got seriously lucky. The route is truly one of my hardest if not THE most challenging I have done. I am very confident in the 9a grade on this one....some friends say it could be harder...? http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe_kinder_-_pro_blog_4 joe_kinder Tue, 19 May 2009 12:22:00 EST http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/JK-PB4-bovice-sq.jpg Joe Kinder - Pro Blog 4 5/19/09 - It has gotten DAMN hot here in the desert Southwest and plans to get out have been made, but before all of that I got a few things done.

The featured route I called Unforgivable, which is (8c/+) 5.14b/c at the Cathedral in southern Utah. I equipped this line and am confident that it's one of the best bouldery and crimpy routes in this style. http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe_kinder_-_pro_blog_3 joe_kinder Wed, 06 May 2009 12:22:00 EST http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joey-kinder-gergory2-sq.jpg Joe Kinder - Pro Blog 3 5/06/09 - Keith Ladzinski (<a href="http://www.ladzinski.com/" target="_blank">ladzinski.com</a>) and I collaborated on this video project to create what is now the <b><a href="http://www.gregorypacks.com/" target="_blank">Gregory Packs</a> Commercial II</b>.

This is for all climbers… Hence, a series of Gregory commercials. I have a list of ideas and goofy plots… ALL in the freedom of I want to do. It CAN’T get much better than that right???? http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe_kinder_-_pro_blog_2 joe_kinder Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:22:00 EST http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/problog/joe_kinder/joe-kinder-pb2-sq.jpg Joe Kinder - Pro Blog 2 4/07/09 - I came up with the idea to promote one of my most important sponsors, Gregory Packs, in a way that was fun for me, good for them and, an endeavor that would correlate creativity and climbing from an obsessed athlete like myself.
