went up north to camp on the water and fire some easy high balls but the sea was going nuts. this is a vb i was hoping to try first facing the pacific. damn.
didn’t get too shaky in berkeley but it’s an urban crag and those holds are pretty polished so i just don’t look down past my feet. how does anyone else do this stuff? if it had been harder i would not have been so comfortable, i think it was a v2
stop a little bummed not to be able to boulder more with the ferocious sea but back at it in the backyard.
i never get sick of looking at mont king (apologies if you do)

Got the chance to do the East Face of Mt Whitney on Saturday. A bit chilly in the morning, but great weather and a fun climb altogether.

I threw my helmet into the back of the chimney so my head would fit. Then I squirmed in and brought it up dangling from a double length runner.

foot of fresh, blue bird, 25 degrees.... might as well try to sneak in a last day of rock climbing. nope!
unimaginably cold in the overhanging routes, snow or ice everywhere else.
still might as well try this five.fun slab while we are here in ice boots.

fun day, time to turn the page though.
Some pics from our autumn holiday trip to the zillertal in Austria. Nice rock but pretty small areas.
I guess I'm spoiled by the Swiss areas. Attachment 255243Attachment 255244Attachment 255245Attachment 255247

Makes me complain less when I think the friction isn't perfect because it's 3 degrees too warm!
Speaking of friction, it's prime season for LCC granite and the forecast looks like another week of the same:

for sure, i agree with you and was thinking about hardmen out in bc climbing garbage with ice and choss with ridiculous backpacks.
but awesome shot! what route are we looking at there?
not quite stoke but has anyone tried the escaper?
Gordon's Hangover in the GreenA gully. Someone trundled a huge loose block on it recently, had to see how it changed the route...
And how did it? That route was so hard for me. The hangover portion just got me in the weirdest position.Quote:

That section is now a fist-sized crack full of gravel and more lose blocks, it will clean up but for now it's a titch harder/more insecure as you have to make a slabby move and can't get gear. Placing the gear way out left in the flake is also harder as it used to be done sitting on the pillar. I could see people placing gear further in and getting mad rope drag from it now. And there's probably one extra move to get straight up into the flake as the stance is a good foot lower now. Overall it's still 9+ because of the crux above but it got a bit more sustained getting there.Quote:
