New Era for the MPTC's

So, its been a year, and I've been lazy about posting... but alot has gone on. First lets start with whos departed and whos the new additions.
KD and Grubb both left the Mt. Pinos. KD is off to bigger and better things following his own path. Grubb accepted a Captains position on the helicopter in the Mesa Verde national park in Colorado. Bummer for us, but good luck to them in their journey. Bender and Panda had a child, Mason "the monster", and hes a natural climber. He will be making his climbing debut on the next video. 4c and his girl Brandy have joined us as casual climbers, and have been with Bender, Panda, Kitten and I on a bunch of climbs. Kitten and Panda (my and Benders girls, respectively) have started climbing more and are getting pretty good.
On to more recent news. Overall, the direction the MPTC (Mt. Pinos Tree Climbers) is taking has undergone a sort of growth in the last year. We are no longer focused on work related climbing activities, although we jump at every opportunity to get paid to climb, FS sanctioned or private contract. The other climbers and I had a pow wow and decided that we were all more into the recreational aspects of climbing. Most of us havent actually been paid to climb in several years, although the majority of us hold US Forest Service Certification at some level or another. Since we are getting more non-FS people in our little tribe, we are focusing more on exploring, teaching and making first ascents than with making a buck.
Bender and I are also pondering the idea of starting a treeclimbing clothing company. I am also playing around with the whole video/lifestyle side of treeclimbing. We have a lot of ideas to make treeclimbing specific clothing, and I'm upgrading my video equipment to improve the quality of the films. If I've every asked for feedback from you, my audience, now would be the time to speak up (constructive only please).
Oh and the fouth video should be done within a month. Its got climbs from Shaver Lake, Ca., and Giant Sequoia National Monument, Ca. on it so far. Gonna have some good music too.
