Some dude with a goofball Adidas tee
What do you get when a couple of folks take photos of short 1-pitch climbs? Butt shots, that's what you get.
The climb next door looks about the same
Some dudes were there with Himalayan hero Matoco
Gaby's butt from further away
Time to call it a rap

I've been missing climbing a lot lately. Moving, employment commitments, family reunions, visitors, weather have all conspired in to a drought of epic proportions. We set out as a family to fix all that. Our first family FA.
White Poplar #1 SE Arete (I, 22', A0).
As a family, we have never had mature trees. It was obvious what needed to be done.
I'm not much of an aid climber, so I had to resort to drastic measures.
Free hanging jug to the first logical belay. I'm not in alligator wrastlin' shape.
The SE ridge still awaits a FFA.

Old-school, no chalk No garbage No paint.No body else but me. A lightening strike, recently brought chain saws at the top of
what I call Ravens crest for the rookery that appeared in on the easiest route up the cliff.
More dead sticks for the birds to use, they build three by five piles of sticks that have (in ten to fifteen years) been prone to, smokey fires, from high mica content in the rock, dry conditions they are spontaneous combustion-like, and spooky to come across.
There has been no evidence of anyone having climbed here.
There is a a small ridge line or 'cirque of comers.` Some zones I only visit once a year.
One a full 80 feet high,at the prominent corner system, I go to almost once a week though I took a break after pulling my gear, the result was the clear fact that no one climbs here but me.
It is a hard to describe chunk of steeply located granite, fine grained - hard, and has a whole in the wall that leads to this cave exit 70 feet inside the wall!
(be careful what you wish for)
the cracks need to be 'flaked'to take bomb proof protection. but after they are 'beaten out' - cleaned, To the brushed with a wire brush, stage, The cracks protect.
As far as I know, ( I have left multiple coffee can registers' )
No one but my self for more than fifteen years
though, one time , I found evidence of others.
A deconstruction and improperly,' improved on',
non- redundant much more visible with per use damages visible + the damage done to a bomb proof retreat,
in favor of a 'boX'rig or directional top rope off the high point ,death tri angle ish .
