Crimped

My path climbing around the fish bowl.

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 was beautiful, 40's on the top of the gorge and it had to have been low 80's and no humidity down in the gorge. It was excellent climbing!

Routes

  • Mescalene Daydream - 5.8 (2 pitches) the layback is fun, the beginning is kinda awkward though, and the rop does funny things... but this is a great climb all in all.
  • Punk Wave - 5.wired 10a - We only did the first pitch. The beginning is always tenuous, but that was the only spot on the route I had any kind of concern... there was even slight mis-communication near the runnout slab part... Our intention was to climb the later pitches, but the traverse to the rest of the climb just seemed stupid...
  • Primitive Paradox - 5.9 (only the first pitch) - This is another great climb, only wish it was longer. Have to come back and do all of it.
