Crimped

My path climbing around the fish bowl.

T-Wall Climberizing

woodzy | 06 November, 2005 01:19

First Time @ TWall today. Man that was a fun day ;)... TWall is certainly one of the more premier crags in the south... the approach is a serious bitch though holy crap.

Routes:

  • Digital Macabre - 10b
  • Hidden Assets (my first 5.10 gear lead.. hell yeah... due to a good lie... thanks Luke) - 10a
  • Blood on the Rocks - 10c

The Glass

woodzy | 17 October, 2005 00:58

Man I'm falling in love with Trad Climbing. Looking glass was an absolutely superb climbing spot. The North Face had some stiff routes, but the ones we did were amazing. The Multi-pitch South face the first day was fun but slowly became more of a chore to finish up the business of the route. The good parts were pretty much at the beginning and then you just run-out 70-80 feet at the end to get to a rap tree.


Routes hit up...

  • South Face
    • Second Coming
    • Rat's Ass
  • North Face
    • The Seal (first pitch, awesome corner overhang)
    • The Womb (first 2 pitches, full 60m rope)
    • Safari Jive (first Pitch, easy lead ;) )

Sandrock - Beginners Fall '05

woodzy | 01 October, 2005 23:02

Did the whole beginners trip thing as a "practice" trip leader... I'm not too positive I need to lead a real one :)... kinda starts peeling away at all the enjoyableness of the trips. On the bright side I got on

  • Comfortably numb which was super sweet.

Also a bunch of unnotables but bouldering was amazing. Got on a few problems on Muslce beach... one simple V1 overhand jug hual (good warm up)... and the V6 super amazing problem that is super awesome... It was alot of fun because I found a sweet foot hook which made life easy in the beginning.


On another note... my shoes (not the climbing ones... the ones I walk in) almost got walked away with by some local kids... I mean seriously... who steals friggin Merril shoes that are 2 years old with holes forming? I mean comon!!...


Whatever, I got em back :)

RockTown!!

woodzy | 05 September, 2005 22:22

As with any good labor day... one should be climbing... I chose the lovely Rocktown to wander to this weekend after much ado earlier in the weekend...

I have no idea what I bouldered here... but there were 3/4 fun short (30') solo climbs... and a tremendous amount of fun boulder problems.

  • Other climbs in the "Treasure Chest"... but I didn't lead those.

The New & Summersville

woodzy | 17 August, 2005 19:19

New River Gorge is just absolutely amazing in terms quality/quantity of the rock and the quality/quantity of routes in that area is just superb. I spent a week there, I can't even start to list the routes I did there because there are so many. Both sport and trad climbing is excellent.

Summersville (20 mi away from Kaymorr) also has excellent deep water soloing. Just take the left turn before the bridge that goes over summersville lake (Whipperwill, I think) and park by the third dirty road and hike along the trail to the cliffline submerged by the lake. We had fun on a large amount of hard roof problems and some 55-65 ft 5.7/8/9's that you happily solo and jump off ledges at the top of the climb. Absolutely amazing.

Grayson Highlands

woodzy | 04 August, 2005 02:00

Almost turned around half way due to pouring rain... but happily it was a localized drenching and the boulders where perfect (70ish degrees all around). All in all it was an excellent evening bouldering session.

Problems

  • Some kinda layback crack bouldering problem, v3
  • An overhanging bulge, v4ish? still haven't sent it.
  • Some cute slabby v0 stuff right next to it
  • Overhang arrete... v4ish?
