So let's hear it guys and gals. I know alot of us got out to enjoy this wonderful weather. What'd everyone get on?



Myself and Scobro climbed at the Great Wall on Saturday and got on little T-bone, Momma cindy, and Social Stigma. (nice line by the way squeezindlemmon). ON Sunday we proceeded to go to SkyBridge where we got on Jack in the Pulpit, and then was headed to do Sick Puppies but the top was wet. So we did Commencement instead.

Overall we had an enjoyable weekend.

TeamEpic had no epics this weekend!!!!

RainMan and I hit Chodeside to attempt the whole "getting back in climbing shape" thing. I got on Crazyweiners and Pulling Pockmarks and gave Strevels a couple of goes. That's a pretty cool route for sure. I am actually sore still today so I know I got a decent workout in! The most important thing though was that I had a GREAT frikkin time on the rock and just hanging out with lots of cool people. It was great to FINALLY be back outside and it was probably the best day climbing I have had in a looooonnnnnng time.

went to Fortress saturday and did Rude Boys and Astroman

Thanks Stewy! Glad you enjoyed the route....

squeezindlemmon wrote:Killer weather at the Red, for sure. Put up two more new routes in the Valley with J-Rock!...... climbed with some friends who are new to the area. Definitely not February weather out there this weekend!

Four more days and we're off to AR (Horseshoe Canyon Ranch)!

I climbed with Muao Dib this weekend. We went to Roadside Saturday and both fell in love with Just Duet. That route kicks ass!

Sunday we went to Global and I tried to do Disappearer. After a dozen goes I finally managed to get that dyno move but I don't know how confident I feel about getting it again. That thing is tough! Does anyone do this crux any other way than the dyno?

I flailed on several routes in the Morehead area.

Artsay, I use the crimp and work my feet up. It may be a height factor that enables me to do it without a dyno. Man, I wish I had known you went there - I'd love to visit that route again!

wow, I rediscovered this weekend what time away from rock will do to your hands. I ripped mine up and left blood all over the routes at Torrent.

Artsay,
I use the intermediate crimp and hike up my right foot and lean left to the jug. Still a hard ass move. I have never tried to dyno. It is a long dyno? I cant remember how long it is?

Went to Fortress Saturday and seconded the first pitch of Bedtime for Bonzo for my first trad day out. While I was doing it I thought every second sucked until I belly rolled onto the top like a beached whale. Can't wait to do it again.

Went to KD's home gym & bouldered Saturday. Ass made me do a mock lead on the friggin roof. My back kills.

Then we headed out to Phantasia yesterday. It was a tremendous day. Lord of the Flies kinda sucks but it was wet so I won't judge it too harshly until I do it another time.
Overlord is one of the best routes I've been on. (I know that's not much but KD loved it too) More people need to get on that thing b/c it was fantastic. Great crimps, technical moves...10B all the way. The clean was a little scary for me but it was only my 3rd.

The ankle HELD! Wa-hoooooo!!!! I couldn't be happier!!!
