I've never been good a slab climbing.
I've been sandbagged told "this pitch is easy" you can lead it.
Those pitches ended up being the cruxes unknowing to me.
The only reason I didn't die is because I was too scared to die .......

can any one I.D. this? Some how the stars all aligned,
scant tights and no top or a rag,
that made a better head band,
wrapped turban style,
than it did a shirt,
was the required climbers wardrobe for my trial by fire '80

My least favorite type of rock climbing. Only do them when confronted with one on a multi pitch climb.

Same story the crow told me, It's the only one he knows, like the morning sun he comes and like the wind he goes. . . . .
I can post text but pics take more than 20 minutes to upload,
This thread and the slab work mentioned is an acquired taste, the short cool days right now are optimal for hard friction/slabs both in the southeast and the west.
Green Dragon to Mr Natural(great finger crack) then two more pitches of featured slab.?
On the glacier point apron(now seriously compromised by rockfall?)
I am sure that it all has names and grades ??( I will go look it up) But it will be hours from now before the edit/add step so if someone wants to jump in ?...
please.

Essentially your entire body becomes like a hand. You develope an ability to attain contact strength through a tension between hands and feet so that your body as a whole grips the stone. When you go to move one point of contact, the others maintain that grip or you fall.
Ah, I see what you did there. The technical description of stinkbugging.

I've said this before, but that Bob guy five-or-so posts above takes photos that just get to me. I've never met him, but I hope to.
