Fosters

Sweet day at Foster Falls. The water was the highest I've ever seen it. The waterfall was absolutely breathe-taking and loud too :). Perfect weather for climbing today too, on some of the routes chalk was just overkill, it was excellent. Routes in Order - Ankles Away - 9
- Twist and Shout - 9+
- Both of those are great face climbs. Thin holds balancy moves and just ever so slightly below vertical (88? 89?). Twist is an excellent Arete kinda airy in some spots, but a good technical climb.
- Fish Eyed Fool - 10b
- Always a fun climb, has a few cool moves in it. Good to work out those leading jitters.
- Rode hard and Put up Wet - 10d
- In true style it was climbed we today heh. I convinced my partner he needed to lead it (a little above his head), but the moves really are rewarding once you do them. Loses a little of its luster each time I've done it.
- Something's Always Wrong - 10d
- This was to-date my best onsight lead. It was absolutely stellar climbing. This was certainly one of the top 5 climbs I have ever climbed. VERY excellent. I just can't explain how fun it was. Its always great when the moves just flow perfectly! Recommended Climb... deserves more than 2 stars in the dixie craggers!
