Category: Bouldering & ClimbingYonah yet Again!
My finger injury was the main reason, no crimping allowed (as it was for the past 2 trips), but Yonah is fun easy climbing with sweet views. Climbed something, not really sure what it was, some 5.9 somesuch with dirt all over it. I love runouts on slab :)
Yonah again...
Helped teach the Advanced class... had a major turned minor epic with another group who took a lead fall and hit her head. Good learning experience. I'm getting too complacent not putting any gear in hah, climbed one climb with 5 pieces of gear, some balance climb thing.
Quote of the Day
"I agree with those that say that climbing is not life. It is much
better than that. In climbing you get nothing other than what you
absolutely deserve. It has no skin color, no gender, no rules that
matter, and no lawyers, referees, or pushy parents. You can’t get any
more or any less...
Yonah - fun day
Went out to Mt. Yonah... did some 5.11 bolted thing, it was like a move.. then TR'ed another 5.11hard on the way down, it was cool... required a right foot pebble step left foot/hand match on a crimper, very cool move.

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...
ORGT Beginners School #1
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,...
Tallulah Gorge
Thanks to the weather, this was my first day out climbing in around three weeks! Phew, well it was good to be climbing again. No epics this time... I've got the 5.4 move on the approach wired now hah. Now the most dangerous part of the approach is the waterfall/stream crossing. Weather...
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 -...
Tallulah Gorge
I have no idea why I haven't been here before! Well let me rephrase that... the approach to the base of the cliff is NOT user friendly but the cliff line is spectacular. So the rumors of the approach being horrendous have kept me away, until now! hah. The real trick to the descent trail...
