Route of the week

Week 1: Pine Saw Arete, Hound Ears, NC. V3 ***

Sweet overhanging arete. Start with side pulls on each side of the arete, get a heel hook, bump your right to an ok hold, then left to a sharp pocket. Move your feet, right hand up, left hand falls into a really sharp crimp (feel it dig into your skin), set up for a big throw with your right hand to a jug, then swing out to the right face for the top out. Classic.

Very cool, except that there were 275 people there. Made getting on problems kinda tricky. Very, very sharp rock. That place is a gym climbers nightmare, but I really liked it. James Litz was first, Dave was 2nd. R.B. was 2nd for women.

I think the whole CT Cinci crew was there, and they made many, many "friends" by recreating a Saturday night at Roadside at the campground.

Ummm...I'm not sure that's a good thing if it was like one of the nights I remember at Roadside.
