My path climbing around the fish bowl.

This is going to be a novel below, as I recount what happened. But a short recap of my favorite routes...

  • Texas Tumbler - 10d
  • Yankee Clipper - (14 pitches) 10b
  • Agua de Coco - (3 pitches) 10d
  • Treasure of the Sierra Madre - (8 pitches) 10c
  • Crack-A-Mole - 11c
  • Monica Lewinsky's Crack - 11a
  • Guppy - 12a (tufa tufa tufa)
  • Pangea - 11d
  • Will the Wolf Survive - (4 pitches) 10a

Climbing for an entire week in Mexico was easily one of my favorite trips I have taken. The food was great! The company was great! And the climbing was superb!

ORGT Beginners School #2

We decided to go to Rocktown this weekend mainly because of rain partly because it could be fun. I had to prove to myself that I could climb this weekend too because next weekend+week I'ma be climbing around in El Potrero Chico.

Yaaay (said slow), fractured pinky (said fast)! (I don't know what I'm talking about)

I lead some stuff last weekend (at the beginners trip) but it was all super easy, so we setup some overhanging stuff to flail on and I did, which was very disheartening, but then I decided to put my climbing shoes on... that went better.

Yay Sandrock... there were so many people there this weekend we had a setup our rappel station (with fancy backup, munter-mule, explosion of knots, gear and rope) on the block behind the normal one. Which was fun rappelling down right next to Jaws. It was a little longer offered a better view, in my opinion might be a better spot, heh.

We went on to setup a couple of climbs for all the students but of course Comfortably Numb was the gem as always. The students get to stare up and gawk at a full rope length (since the south is so short anyway).

I now have The Pinnacle on the other side of Comfortably wired with 3 pieces of gear heh, .75 cam below, #6 nut 15 feet up, #3 stopper another 20 feet up and your at the top.


I always like bringing new folks into the outdoors and showing them how cool we are :)

Another beginners next week.
