that looks sweet. I'm jealous.
Haven't been climbing at all the past several weeks. finding partners has just been a pain. been productive in other ways, but not climbing. set a route the other day. first in a few weeks.

I'm belaying the red beanie. I'm also the one shamlessly abusing the nohands rest in the second picture. The climb is basically over at that point though (15 feet of 5.9 to hit the chains from where I'm standing) so I don't feel too guilty.

That is what happens when you allow even a momentary lapse of attention while climbing.
May it ever serve as a reminder to you.

How hard are the routes, plenty at a good working level?
No idea. Don't have any info. other than basic hiking directions.
The two warmups feel like .11a/b and there may be an .11d with the rest being in the .12 - .13 range. I've only been there twice so far. Pretty excited to have steep sport climbing near by though.

We did some .9's and .10's with offwidth and awkward climbing at the NRG last month and he seemed pretty solid on those. I have my fingers crossed that we won't suffer any compound fractures.

That sucks. It's hard enough maintaining partners when you're on your home turf. You seem to keep moving around down there so I would imagine it's pretty hard to get anything regular going. Might have to take up roped soloing as a supplement.

I dumped it after failing on my first redpoint burn but there is a bit of forced perspective going on. I was able to just reach up and grab it.

the bad thing is that a fall there seriously sucks (one place where people get hurt when they fall on that climb). Good thing is that there are bolts at the top of that pitch for bailing if the second doesn't make it. The final pitch is sweet.

Thats your whole summer! Well, we have a family camping vacation last week of June through mid July. Which should be good. Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon North rim. So I'm hoping to be able to put together a climbing trip in August. Quick week would be good, but I'll take a long weekend. Would love to take a long weekend in May, but really booked. Although Memorial day weekend just freed up. But the week before and after also just got locked down at werk. Crazey hectic daze. You are a busy man. I tell you what though. I'll meet you halfway in Colorado, somewhere between the 2nd and 10th of June. How bout it?
