Climbing Stoke

[Bromontana]

Some easy cruisers on upper breadloaves, first city of rocks trip of the season.

^^^^Love the breadloaves. I found them surprisingly uncrowded a few weekends ago and climbed the classic four stars with no waiting.

Nice! Twist and Crawl is a favorite. Lucked out on a paid for campsite right up off the main trail. Great place to spend time

gf topping out on what turned out to be a very nice wall. Surprisingly high quality quartzite, very fun.

Only me and mrs flounder climbing so no action pics. Just views from the top and bottom of a couple of recent climbs. One if the best aspects of climbing is the views.

Went down to RMNP for a couple days. We climbed at Lumpy Ridge and did my first technical alpine climb on the Sharkstooth.

[QUOTE=zartagen;4232323]I'm sure there's a few climbers out there. Trad, sport, alpine, ice, post 'em up!

Some to start:





There is something about a well placed number 3 camalot that makes one feel all is right in the universe. Yours look too shiny and new, get out there and climb.

Hit the Southwest Ridge of Symmetry Spire yesterday. Got a little off-route on the last pitch and learned, after looking at the guidebook, that we ended up doing a 5.9 variation of the Direct South Face for that last stretch.

I have to agree, #3s are kickass. But don't worry, that photo was taken a whole 5 months ago. I've been climbing 1-3 times a week since then; now they look a lot better (worse?). They've even seen some falls.

Anyway, here's more stoke, Instagram quality:

I've heard that's a good route, always passed it by to go do the high peaks.

Edit: Just saw the symmetry spire post ^^^. Great climb with a "small" Teton approach.
