Beautiful weekend - What did you climb?

Post by SCIN »

Man, what kick ass weather. Nice weather but still a lot of water in the ground. We did some great climbing at Skybridge and Long Wall. It's fun getting back to some of these cracks I haven't done in a long time since Michelle is starting to lead harder trad routes. It's a reason to do them again. I think I'm having more fun with them the 2nd time around actually.

What did YOU climb this weekend?

Went to the Motherlode Saturday and noticed progress in my sport climbing, which was cool... sent some .11s and got thrashed on Ale-8-1 and Chainsaw Massacre. Then Sunday went to the Great Wall and got on a really cool mixed route (Bushwhacked)! Kickass weather for sure, and awesome company both days.

HP40. I really hurt today. All over. I think it is going to be worse tomorrow.

Excellent weekend o climbing with the ole fiance. Broken Chicken Wing is one of the better lines we've gotten on this year. Hands down one of the nicest cracks in the Red...and at a new wave sport crag to boot. The roof moves on Doppler Effect still plauge me, my body just can't stem, twirl, twist, and place gear in the right order to save my life. Props to Jill for stemming and crimping the 5.hard face variation around some sorta snake and plucking my gear so I didn't have to go back up there. Big Bang is a fun route to do while there is a rope up. To quote the Bolt Fairy "It just needs a little brushing".
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

Climbed a little bit this morning. I did two problems before giving up. The rest of the team did some actual bouldering today, I think. I took pictures for a little while, then left early.

Fun times, no doubt. Just wish they would have had dinner ready a bit quicker. And where was the Keg???

Climbed on some supersweet granite boulders in South Carolina today. Yahoo!

Oh yeah Yas, Bushwhacked is pretty cool. You should check out "All Mixed Up" and "Hoot and Holler" while you're there. Both are great mixed climbs.
