TGR's Summer Climbing Thread

Post your climbing pics (alpine, sport, trad, big walls, bouldering, whatever) here. According to Xover, it's ok to be climbing now, so let's see whatcha got.

Spent last weekend in Maple Canyon, clipping bolts and hanging around.

Gramps drinking beer and pointing, "then I................"

Gramps belaying Mrs. Trackhead after drinking some beverages. It's ok, they are Utah beers.

A blurry photo of the Peanut Gallery. Notice another beer in Gramps' hand.

Is that all this guy does is drink?

Trackhead belaying Gramps. Beer? Check. Comfy chair? Check. Brake hand on rope? Check.

Comfy belay chair is always important.

Fat bolts and fat routes.

Nice climbing stoke, i'll get some up when i can get them off my buddies camera.

Nice Huck.

Lesson number one.

NEVER hike up in plastics. Hence the pain train look of this photo. ;)

Great stuff from Maple; that's got to be some of the coolest rock around.

We're just back from southern Utah, these pix are from Pine Creek Canyon in Zion, from Friday, 7/15 (my birthday!)...the day before the Bryce Half Marathon.

Looking back, canyoneering the day before a 13.1 mile run isn't the greatest idea, but it sure was fun... :p

100' free rappel at the end of the canyon; very cool

Got a PR at the Bryce Half, so it all worked out...

so i am heading out to the cascades in a couple weekends (beginning of august) for a two week hike throughout the different regions of washington.

1. coast
2. rain forest
3. cascades, high peaks

here are some pictures from just a mini trek that we took up to carter noth, in New Hampshire. nice and close to mount washington. its about 4400ft (wahooo!), yet we came a cross a lot of snow in june. pretty good for New England, ide say.


snow at top of peak:

RB,

I did Pinecreek a couple years ago and swam the entire thing. How much swimming did you encounter?

All my climbing pics are slides, so you'll just have to imagine them.

We debated about bringing wetsuits before heading in, and decided not to bring them.

The canyon was quite wet, more than usual for this time of the year, with lots of swimming in dark and skanky water, but factoring in the pain of carrying wetsuits on the hot and exposed hike out, vs. the possibility of being very cold and wet for two hours, we went with the "cold and wet" option...
:rolleyes:

And yes, it was cold and wet.

Climbing in Clear Creek Canyon

some coming up soon

maybe this will be motivation enough for Owens to get "us" a Forum of our own; kinda sad and ironic that we don't have one yet, if ya ask me, seeing how in tgr's very first catalog there some climbing stoke but no bike stoke what-so-ever

from last Friday afternoon with Trackhead and Powho at one of my favorite crags. you can't beat the euro feel across the street from Alta pulling on some sicko limestone. enjoy!!

Fixed ropes and Jumars. The only way to do it.

Here are some spring bouldering shots from Moab.
