Category: Bouldering & ClimbingCrowders Mtn, NC
Swank little area. This is kinda like the Sandrock of NC.
The approach is a real bitch. According to a ranger I talked with, the approach (backside) trail is 0.9 miles and elevates 600ft. And at the end of that trail you are greeted by ~150 stairs gaining you another 150ft....
Clito
Spent most of my time there this afternoon scoping out the river and the opposite bank. There is one nice little boulder on clito side with 3/4 problems on it. 2 I did probably v1/2 respectively. I really like the first one I saw (but those classic lines are always the obvious ones).
T-Wall
Good Day at T-Wall. I'm burned from my bouldering, so I needed a day of hand jams and laybacks. I got it for sure ;)... Routes Arts (5.8) Good warm up... the crux move didn't really feel like an 8 (more like a V2 bouldering problem), but that was just an omen of what was to come....
HP-40 Boulderama
Spent Friday night at HP40 and all day saturday bouldering. We did some fun night bouldering until about 3am (got up at 9am and it was warmer at 3 heh). One fun problem, probably a nice V3 arete overhang kinda thing. Gotta be a classic. Saturday. I destroyed the tips of my fingers. They were...
Boat Rock
Going in the summer sucks... but in the winter this an excellent place to practice footwork/technique. Did all sorts of stuff today... the best stuff was Fire Women - V5 Waves in Motion - V3 Yellow Arete - V4 This is an absolutely awesome bouldering problem. Very classic. Toyed with...
Sandrock - Sporty Day
Sandrock on a cold day... this winter climbing this is kinda irritating. hah. I am of course new to the winter anyway. Florida doesn't have what I would consider winters nowadays. I don't understand how Ice Climbing can even occur :)
Some 9 on North side of Holiday Block... I...
Boat Rock
Not much time to play around today. 2nd Time to BR... still overwhelmed by stuff here. Got kinda rainy after a few hours. Lost Digits - was as good send though. A nice BR classic.
Failed Attempt @ Climbing on the New River Trail
Between the 10 mile trek to where I wanted to climb and the sun setting soo bloody early... I didn't get to probably FA anything on the trail ;( Took a few pictures and marked em in memory where they are. New River Trail climbing wish list... Finger Crack past the bridge (~17/18 on the trail)...
Fall 05 Advanced Class - Yonah
This was just a chill day in the sun on a giant slab called Mt. Yonah. It was kinda fun flying up the 5.5/6 slab. It's a class kinda setting so not much real climbing occured, just alot of teaching about gear. Although toward the end I got on LSD (one of the best routes at Yonah,...
T-Wall Climberizing
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) -...
