This morning was exciting..
So this morning, I went to Rock Creak. Really cool place like literally, it was freakin cold!
Haha I know that was a lame joke but it was really cold up there. And right when I started climbing it started snowing.. But I managed to get a climb in and try some hard stuff.
I got on two problems. The first was called Grove and Arete v4. Grove and Arete might just be the best v4 I have ever been on. Its not sharp, its got really unique features. And its an arete! Who doesn't like arete climbing? Then I got on A Boy Named Sue v7 and that dint go so well.. haha I was to cold and my fingers hurt. So I gave up on that. But here are pics of Grove and Arete!
| Start move is really fun. You have a really cool right hand side pull with a nice thumb catch, and left hand on the arete, then you make a big move up the arete. |
| Here is the coolest move on the climb! from the position im in now you make a huge move to a really good crimp (the Picture below). |
| And Bam..! once you stick the crimp its pretty much over. |
| Reach for the lip. |
Yes, the aspen trees are pretty. Where is the Creek? I see, there's quite a bit of snow on the mountains.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling today? Do you still have the flue-feeling? Take care of yourself.
Love you.
