Some Gorge pictures. Today we went to the Owens River Gorge, and did some awesome sport climbing. I went with Guinn (aka Chris) and Amy again. Got on lots of new stuff and one rout that I tried last year and could not do. And it went well. :) 

Here is Guinn on the warm up for the day, it was such a fun climb. It was a full 70m to lower of and climbed really well. It was a 5.10c and had just really fun thuggy moves on jugs and cool slots  up this nice slightly overhanging wall. Excellent! 

This was a nice 5.10c as well. 

And here is a pic of the beautiful Stream that runs through the area. Well its the Owens river I guess. But its not much of a river.

Yeah so about the climb that I got on last year. Its called Darshan 5.12b and its sooooo gooooooddddd!!! Its super techy crimping up a slightly overhanging wall with a really complex crux after the second bolt. Then its long lock offs on good crimps to a nice rest. THEN! The wall changes on you, it gets even more over hung and there are no rest jugs till the top! This is where the second crux is, it a big lock off to a small pinch then you bump to a better crimp and move up. I feel at the second crux not because I couldnt do it, but because I just got so pumped I couldnt even hold a good crimp... It was kinda sad but I dint mind so much  because it felt easy. Next time I Get on it I will make sure I dont get pumped!
