A good bunch of routes at NRG and across NC, but here are a few that stand out: |
|
While I didn't do as many long routes as i would've liked, Dream of Wild Turkeys and The Black Dagger in Red Rocks were both pretty fantastic. Points of Contact at T-Wall and Roseland at the Gunks were both memorable. Back to the Front at Seneca. Everything my fingers had the good fortune of touching at the New, but Rapscallions Blues, Black and Tan, and Lost Souls stand out as favorites. |
|
I was fortunate to have a month-long break between jobs this summer, which I spent in the Sierra and Yosemite. Highlights included:
TR with pics here. Looking forward to another summer of alpine granite. |
|
Nothing long or epic but...: |
|
Did a couple spurt prodges. Got back to the wingate after too many years away. Did some fa's. did not do any big stuff this year, which I'm bummed about. Am more bummed about wrapping up the year with a broken foot. |
|
Kautz Glacier on Rainier |
|
Being part of a resque in May. Taking a 40 ft. fall and not injuring myself. |
|
I am looking forward to some warmer weather! |
|
Summitted Cotopaxi - first mountaineering experience |
|
First ever trips to Rumney and Whitehorse Ledge in NH. |
|
Climbing w/ some hard cranking chicks. Everything else was pale in comparison. |
|
First ever trad lead! I led 1st pitch of Safari Jive (5.8) at Looking Glass. Highlight of my life. |
