    My wife's third place makes me stoked.
    Edit: not my wife's instagram. We don't do millenial
    She has the 18month old on her arm. And still is stronger than girls 20 years younger. Three girls out of 6 have kids.

    went back to fa land to help my friend put up a new route in an area he’s been exploring in another cave system.

    it starts with a handrail which you traverse on to gain an overhanging hand crack. when that narrows you flip around to an arete and then finish on an ow protected by a 9 pretty far from the anchor.

    he sent it pretty fast like a boss but i found it pretty hard.

    then we finished the day with an easier hand crack outside and picking half a nalgene of blueberries and raspberries on the way back to the car.

    great day!

    i belayed him on his project which went down pretty fast, hopefully there’s a video coming soon since he records like every route he does.

    I confess I've spent more time in the water than on the rock this season.

    heh, i can't even get a weather report to avoid sitting in a cave for an hour and a half in a downpour after work yesterday.

    sidenote: sitting in a cave during a downpour with a buddy is more fun than a lot of things. Maybe I'm ready for the alpine?

    finally got on Interceptor at City after building it up in my mind for years and years - managed to style the lower crux only to pump out and fall two moves from the lip.


    Ugh, next time I guess

    i’m doing a multipitch tomorrow and want to bring a tag to shorten the raps. i’d also not want to lengthen the day by getting the ropes stuck. the tag is the edelrid escape rope so it’s rated for 2 lead falls and i don’t mind rapping on both or the fat single.

    how much more likely am i to get the ropes stuck using it as a tag as opposed to a double?

    i have rapped before on it as a double with an edk, is there any better way to join them and not get them stuck? the widths are 6 and 9.8 and the double fisherman’s has fucked me too many times.

    Never really noticed before but you're right. You'd think they could have at least included Whitney-Gilman or Moby Grape in that book just to have something in the East. Both meet their criteria of being at least 500 feet, and are total classics according to friends who've climbed them (I have not). Oh well.

    Edit: Searching around I found this article on Climbing.com where they suggest adding Whitney-Gilman and adding/removing some others.

    Out:

    EAST BUTTRESS, MIDDLE TRIPLE PEAK, AK: A super-involved endeavor, demanding weeks of time and great expense, with extremely uncertain weather. The first pitch has been erased by rockfall, and a replacement line has yet to be climbed
    HUMMINGBIRD RIDGE, MT. LOGAN, CANADA: The peak is striking. But the full line hasn’t seen a second ascent, and four people have died attempting it
    SHIPROCK, NM: It’s a sacred site for the Navajo Nation. Though it’s occasionally poached, it’s been off-limits to climbing since 1967
    D1, THE DIAMOND, LONGS PEAK, CO: The Diamond’s first route, but its seeping, hard free climbing at 14,000 feet and poor rock quality make some climbers question its inclusion
    NORTHCUTT-CARTER ROUTE, HALLETT PEAK, CO: Rockfall wiped out the first two pitches in the late 1990s. It’s still climbable, but it requires a tricky traverse on poorly protected terrain
    WISHBONE ARÊTE, MT. ROBSON, CANADA: A low success rate, dangerous approach, and choss make this the second-most-despised route of the Classics after Hummingbird Ridge.

    In:

    CRIMSON CHRYSALIS (5.8), RED ROCK, NV: Many climbers wanted some of the intense mountain routes replaced with more accessible, stellar rock climbs in the Southwest, especially Red Rock. Steck expressed regret for not including this area, but at the time, “We just didn’t know it, and no one was pushing it,” he says. The variety of crack and face climbing on Crimson Chrysalis now makes it one of Steck’s favorites.
    WHITNEY-GILMAN RIDGE (5.7), CANNON CLIFF, NH: An aesthetic and prominent long route in the East. Hassler Whitney and Bradley Gilman climbed the jutting spine with no pitons or other protection in 1929; they merely stopped to belay whenever they found ledges.
    MOONLIGHT BUTTRESS (5.8 C1), ZION NATIONAL PARK, UT: The most-requested replacement route. Moonlight Buttress ascends an obvious prow on its namesake buttress with perfect splitters cleaved into the upper sections. Free climbers and aspiring aid climbers alike flock here for a chance to tick this colorful line.
    CASUAL ROUTE (5.10A), THE DIAMOND, LONGS PEAK, CO: A relatively accessible route on Colorado’s highest wall. Most of the climbing is 5.8 or 5.9, and the crux moves are well protected. Plus, the alpine environment still gives you a full-value experience.

    i was on Gamesmanship the other day when this dude got tired of waiting for us to stop flailing. on-sited The Sting and then traversed across some pretty blank slab to get back on our route and then pass. i can not really imagine being able to on site these cracks. The Sting where he is in the photo is a bomber hand crack but getting into it you have the same weird start as Gamesmanship and then a finger crack traverse thing. The grades look modest but they are not easy.

    it’s also weird when a free soloist asks to pass. i’d rather not add big loose objects over my head but you can’t really be like no either when they’re underneath you doing a chicken wing or something in the offwidth.

    stoke alert. first day took a bit to figure it out. second day was wet and i fell at the anchor. today i waited for it to dry and sent it first try. hitting the same route three times is basically something i never do but i think maybe projecting is for me.

    this is roma, 4 star short 11- at weir. so stoked.

    eta what a freaking perfect day.

    If you're on Instagram and not following Jim Thornburg you are missing out one of the best and most well traveled climbing photographers of all time. He publishes a lot of photos from his extensive archives and the work is outstanding, as is the selection of climbs he shoots. Highly recommended!

    I bought, disassembled and moved the finest home gym in Quebec, maybe Canada. I have nowhere to put all this shit yet so I guess I'm going to open up a netflix for climbing holds unless anyone wants to invest in a little something with 18 foot ceilings and 6500 square feet.

    That's a very nice thing to hear. There is a surprising amount of cool rock i've found here and some cool places to visit with good communities. the downside is that the season is shortened with rain/snow/bugs/heat/etc. if you ever wanted to come by i'd jump on a rope with you or any maggots anywhere.

    BTW, that sport climb I shot of that girl in the first one has some (hit google translate) lol. I don't get how it was printed in the new topo before it had a FA, but I am calling it Le Gauchiste after I send.

    The red tagging was a freaking plague almost as bad as the virus during covid, I hope the shit is done now, haven't seen them out lately.
