Probably scared the shit out of them. I know if one of my daughters was living in a van and climbing (like I did) I would be worried sick. I guess I'm more aware of the dangers than my parents were. Ignorance is bliss.

    Sweet. I'll have to dig into the archives and look for some old J-tree photos and scan them. No cams though, they weren't invented yet...yeah, I'm old.

    ^^^Looks like fun. I love those big juggy climbs were there is always a big hold right where you need it, and you can just move over the rock fluidly, especially on big, high alpine routes. I don't need to be in constant fear of peeing my pants on a climb these days...I guess I'm just getting old, not bold.

    The last rap off that route lands you in a bar, literally, through a notch in the roof. We immediately purchased beers, and then said beers were consumed on the beach in the location of the second photo. I don't want to leave.

    As usual the West Desert doesn't disappoint. Late season visit to the House range to bag the unique Anticrack.

    checked out a really cool spot in zion. the "warm up" route was a handful for me but I made it up, can't wait to go back.

    I'm kind of new to climbing. if it's bad form to say where a route is online someone please let me know and I'll remove that. I figured since it's already on MP then it's no big deal to give the info.
