My buddy Kieth did the leading. I will let it fatten up a bet before I lead these. Did get my first solo in on Bridalveil today and got the boy out a bit. I let him use my crampons compared to some old flat front point ones he had been using and he said he did not like them because they the stuck in the ice too good and he had a hard time getting them out. That is some sticky ice.Are things shaping up out east? I heard you had a warm start to the year.

Riley, it had been hagining in there for over a month about 15 feet off the ground and the cold temps over the last few days finally allowed it to touch down. I wasn't up for leading it but I gladly followed it. It was pretty bomber. There were actually 3 pillars touching down on it with the left one being being about a foot thick. Last year the same guy did the skinny pillar to the right when it was about the same size as it is in the pillar. He regularly WI5 and 6 in Cody.

{{{Spray alert}}}
I was climbing at Mt Lemmon the other day and came upon a route not in the guidebook.
It looked pretty cool, and I was intrigued.
Did it and when I got home and looked it up on Mt Proj... 5.11!
Pretty big deal for me. Haven't OS'd (much less attempted) an 11 in like, 15yrs.
It's good to be back!

I haven't climbed in awhile too be completely honest. Bouldered a few times, but I have been mostly running and fishing as of late. So goes the ebb and flow of my attention. Anyways!
Today was blue bird and still. The kind of day that screams to be paired nicely with a family outing involving climbing. Loaded up the kids and the Mrs and hit Table Scraps. Sure, the place will never be anything more than local choss, but today it was as good as it is ever was.
We hiked out and just relished the sun on our skin. Roped up and progressed through the grades starting at 5.5, 5.8, 10b, 10d, and ended on 10a. It was the first time I have ever heard my kids complain about having to wait to climb. It was SO NICE out there. My son (10) actually worked his way up Oaksterdam (10b). I was quite impressed!
We finished the day as the light was fading. The hike out was one of those times you could swear elves are watching you from the shadows deep in the forest. We were the only ones out at Scraps and I couldn't have been more happy. For those wondering, time has proven me correct. The rock has cleaned up quite nicely and I am very happy with how the crag turned out.
I hope your day was as fulfilling as mine!

Not today but Saturday, climbed at the Owen's River Gorge. Amazingly warm down there, great since the day before had froze while skiing at Mammoth.
It was a great day of climbing with friends and was very pleased that I could get up the routes-so out of shape for steep climbs!
Favorite climb of the day, route called; Paradise, a really sweet 5.9, it was just plain fun.

58-60 degrees, sunny, calm, and not many people in JTNP yesterday = perfect sending conditions. I wrestled many five star dick wrenching mega classic pebbles.

Hayley Anna 5.8 Parkline Slab
great climb
Soft in the Middle 5.8
these two pitches, above Hayley Anna would make a 3 star 5.8 route if there was a bolt protecting the last 10 feet to the anchors on p2. As it is, that pitch is probably not for a just 5.8 leader.
here Linda leads a new Brian Ketron route, p2 was 5.10a and she liked it
We also climbed Machine Gun Jubblies 5.8 as Linda and Bela climbed p1 of Color Me Gone, but someone else will have to post pictures of those....
