Weekend Reports Anyone?
Bouldering and sport climbing at eldo canyon, as well as at gross res. (not in kentucky) Gross was actually more rock-trundling than climbing. God that shit is fun. We had one that was so big it didnt even tumble, it just plowed down the mountain, destroying everything in its path, until it hit the water, where it seriously casued a tidal wave like ripple. No one around caught any fish after that one.

Re: New routes
No lie about this route man! Bad ass line. Very unique for the Red. Also, that far left line at The Solarium.....damn! If that ain't Obed climbing!Spoonman wrote:J.J.'s new route is AWESOME. Instant classic, even still a bit dirty at bottom. The best (or second best-Legend) sloper route in the RED. Of course, this type of "Lip Service" is always a blast!
Did 7 new lines at Muir today and each one of them was freaking amazing and unique. Very nice work FOMV.

Had a great Obscure Route at Torrent day with Spragwa and Otis on Saturday, followed by an awesome day at the Solarium with Paul and Matt (Massey!!) yesterday. Everyone is right about the routes at the Solarium! That might be my new favorite sport crag at the Red. Team Muir rocks. =)
Heading out again today and tomorrow.

We did seven new routes on Saturday at The Great Wall, The Great Arch, and The Solarium. Each one was fantastic but the favorites were definitely Lip Service and Air-Ride Equipped. Those two were un-freakin-believable!
Sunday I got Morning Wood after dreaming of it all week (imagery provided for you, Don
) and then we headed to The Motherlode to get completely thrashed for a perfect end to a perfect weekend.

We climbed 17 trad routes at New River. My favorite was "Handsome and Well Hung" an aesthetic dihedral with a thin technical crux. I didn't get the onsight! While leading it my foot slipped off a smear just after the crux. I discovered that a #1 Metolius TCU will hold a fall with one of the 3 cams open. Got back on and finished it right away. Definitely one of my favorite dihedrals anywhere!

We had a great day at the Great Wall on Sat. Onsighted Pre-emptive Strike & Boltergeist, cleaned Shock & Awe, and popped off Crusin' For a Brusin' while attempting a rather foolish Tom Cruise style move. Btw, take a helmet for belaying Shock & Awe; 5 or 6 people climbed it Sat., and everyone sent down at least one piece of rock golf-ball-sized or larger.
Sunday was much more mellow at Drive By, for me anyway. One of my buddies sent Fire & Brimstone, and half onsighted (his brother placed draws on the first half before peeling and lowering) Whip Stocking, his first 11a!
To top it all off, on our way out of the gorge we ate at Mark's Mountain BBQ, which was amazing, especially the blackberry cobler. A great weekend for sure.

We went to the Great Wall. Apparently the word is out as there were lots of people there. Did 7 new routes, enjoyed them all. Boltergeist 5.10b is way fun. I agree with the helmet comment for Shock and Awe. Lots of loose material still coming off the route. Met some really nice people who clipped the first bolt of Momma Cindy 5.11c for our group. Thanks Ray and Artsay 
I sent the line cleanly on 1st go on TR, wished I would have led it instead.

I went looking at wedding and reception sites with my fiance. No climbing. 
Well, technically you can climb some stuff at one of them but I got a dirty look when I pointed that out.
I do get all next weekend (3 days!) to climb though.

Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.
