Crimped

Its 28 degrees in the parking lot of the "Interpretive Center" at Tallulah Gorge... we convince the rangers we aren't idiots... and start decending. I get to the 4th class scramble and I decide that I'm waay to hot in my fleece. We get to the base of Primitive Paradox and its...

Perfect day at the gorge... not too hot, not too cold, just warm enough for a little chalk. Punk Wave First time doing more than the first pitch... The 2nd pitch is great, not that hard... the traverse is fine you have a couple of crimpers, but not much gear. The finger crack is indeed...

Got on some awesome routes today, it was an introduction to climbing for a few folks, but I got to lead some awesome routes onsight :). Makes me happy! Routes: Steggo 5.6... two pieces of gear :), good thing I've gotten comfortable with < 5.7 run-out-ness Black Pig 5.9 Booze and...

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 :)

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.
