Jebus, this is the top out through the
2nd pitch roof on Edward's Crack at the Woo.
Seven years ago I was struck by lightning on it.
Went back last Saturday to slay a personal demon.
Very fun route.
On a blue bird day that is.

My first "5.10d" at Berkeley Iron Works yesterday, toprope of course. One fall and I kept going from there.
Do I really believe that rating? Maybe, my forearms are still pumped today.
How's the guy who fell off the bouldering and appeared to be injured?

LOL Munge.
To be clear I was actually lit up on the raps coming down the face to Ed's right. I had cleaned the anchor atop pitch two - after having run my friends and family up a 60 meter top rope on Ed's -and was starting down in a worsening storm when....
Gal, I love the look and smile in your classic arm bar pic.

Paiute Crag 7.
All those Crags are such choss heaps! 2,500' of couloir talus to hit a bump on the ridge. And most of the rock which is solid is downsloping and a bit glassy.
Chockstones can be the cruxes. Sooo...left a fixed #1 Alien at one, mostly of psych value. Found a less dangerous deproach. If found, please either return it, or keep it with all the good juju you'll earn after a few hours.
My favorite one, too, considering that about a quarter of my rack is booty. Next crux I had to leave a tied-off rusty can opener.

No lightning, perhaps some choss. Yesterday: 1st pitch of Jimmies Favorite at Jimmies.
Today I worked all day, bouldered for 15 min, and fixed some of our window sashes.

Today, climbed at the gym. So, ten feet up a 5.11a, toproping, I have to swing right several feet to a jug. I reach, grab the hold and as I pivot right there's a WHOOOOOOSH! and the guy leading the route to my left, who was far away, up near the top, falls past several bolts, nearly the length of the wall, ending up with his legs where my head had been a half-second earlier. Yikes!

Cross posted from my thread for Mike!
I managed to get out quite a bit last weekend.. Friday night Kieran and I made a Pillar bid via Apron Strings on the heels of Luke and Nate but they were much faster than us and managed to finish the Grand Wall.
We on the other hand made it to the base of the Split Pillar as darkness was decending upon us and I decided to save it for another day, knowing I had a pretty full day tomorrow.
Saturday morning the alarm went off early, but the snooze button got hit. We still managed to get out pretty early. Sandra and I ran up Banana Peel and Boomstick and made it to the base of The Ultimate Everything for noon.
Sandra at the P2 belay on The Ultimate Everything 10b
It went pretty well, she had a little trouble with the 5.8 jam cracks pitch but that's just because she needs hone her jamming technique.
She cleaned the 10b exit pitch!
Sandra was pretty stoked to get this one under her belt and I was stoked to lead every pitch and get my redpoint.
Sunday I picked up Kyle late.. I was pretty tired from Ultimate.. We took the half ropes and headed up the badge to get on Blazing Saddles.
I led the first pitch for the first time which was pretty cool. I left all the big stuff on the ledge with Kyle and I was wishing I had brought some bigger stuff when running it out after the tree.
Kyle on P1 (10b) of Borderline 11c (10d)
Kyle led the 5.8 to the Terrace and brought me up. When I got there he was spooked. He said "We didn't bring any big gear! That looks really wide! You sure you didn't sandbag me!" ;).... "Chill dude, look at the hand crack! We have lots of mid size gear!"...
Blazing Saddles 10b
I got my redpoint on the first pitch 10a. Which left Kyle with the 10b pitch.
Kyle starting out on the 10b pitch.
Standing on the spooky flake to place.
Getting into the meat of it.
Prepping to rap A Fine Line
Still gotta go back for the red point on the stellar 10b pitch!
