Lots Of New Pictures!!
So I gots lots of new pictures, some from today, some from yesterday, and a few from like a month ago..
Yesterday Zach and I went to the Owens River Gorge and did some sport climbing. It was awesome! I on-sighted a 5.11b, 5.11c, and a 5.11d! haha it was pretty cool. Thats my second hardest on-sight. (12a in smith rocks) And Zach got to use his new Trad Climbing gear. So we all had a great time!
And today was pretty sweet to! It was my friend Mikes last day here and he really wanted to get on Seven Spanish Angles V6. Its a super classic and has some of the coolest holds in Bishop. Check out the pics!
 |
| This is my new camp in the Table Lands, really cool place. Its secluded and quiet just how I like it. |
 |
| Heres a GIANT slab thing that i was playing on right next to my camp! Its really nice to have good climbing like ten feet away from my tent. :) |
 |
| More playing. |
 |
| On top of the mega slab! |
 |
| This is a spectacular problem called Gromit V4. Perfect rock and smooth moves. |
 |
| This is the little crux move, gotta make a scary left hand move up to a sloppy side pull. But it wasnt bad at all, felt pretty chill if ya ask me. |
 |
| Toppin out.. |
 |
| The tent, the car, and my self at the new camp site! It was very warm today like sixty degrees! |
 |
| More playing around by the camp. |
 |
| Ahhhh.. this is my new Project!!! Its called Twin Crack V9! Its really sweet, just my style, big moves on slopers and crimps. Love it! Now I gotta send it. |
 |
| Me on Seven Spanish Angles. |
 |
| Theres my friend Mike on Seven Spanish Angles v6, He was soooo close to sending, one move away! Next time he is in town he will send for sure! |
 |
| Toppin out on Spanish Angles. |
 |
| The last move is the crux, its a big dyno to a cool jug that was created by water over the years. In fact I think all the holds on this climb were shaped my water running down the face. |
 |
| Ah. this move kills me. Its one of the hardest moves on Twin Crack. But I have stuck it a few times, the next few moves arnt as hard. I think I can do it... Maybe ;) |
 |
| These next few pics are of a beautiful sun rise that I caught on morning when me and Jessie were camped up at the Buttermilks. It was amazing. |
 |
| This was camp at the Buttermilks about a month ago. Im gunna move back up there eventually, its really pretty. |
 |
| OH YEAH, this is a dead bat I found at the Gorge! Poor guy... |
 |
| Mt. Tom in the morning glow. |
 |
| The bat... Hope hes in bat heaven. |
 |
| Ha here is Zach lookin like a B.A. going through his rack. He was gettin all geared up for a cool 5.9 crack climb. Looked hard to me, Trad Climbing is intense. |
 |
| The moon after are adventure in the Gorge! Think it was a full moon. Really nice. |
 |
| Hahaha look at that smerk.. He was pumped to get on the rock because its been a month since he had climbed!! Id be pretty pumped also.... Wait! Im always pumped to climb hahaha :))) Its my true love. |
 |
| I know I know, Ive been living here in Bishop for like three months and Im still kinda a tourist in a way. (taking pictures of the Buttermilk sign is for tourists) hahaha but it just has so much history and meaning! Dont judge me. :) |
 |
| Love this pic, thats Amy in the blue, and another guy I met (forgot his name..) And that was his girl friend on the left. All really great people and great climbers. Really a pleasure to meet them and hang out with them. |
 |
| There is Mike warming up on the beautiful Sun Shine Naked V0. funny name if you ask me, it wasnt even in the sun.. haha |
 |
| Here Jeff is stacking the pads just right so when we bail from the top we wont break are ankles! thanks Jeff for the pad stacking skills. |
 |
| Amy up left and another dude I meet today. (gotta get better at remembering names... Iv been meeting a lot of people its kinda hard) |
 |
And there is Mike brushing the sloppy holds. Just look at that wall! its soooo sick, overhanging with slopers and crazy knobs, and a sweet "thank god jug" at the top. Talk about a perfect climb...
Well Thanks for viewing the photos. Im going to have more tomorrow because im going to the Milks again! haha my skin is hella thin and bleeding in some places.. but after monday im going to rest. And on monday I wont be climbing that hard... At least I dont think I will. hahah.
TTYL for now. Have a great night. |
