seems like most faces were V2/V3
the slopey overhangs much harder

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!








easier to find berries than the car when the trail looks like this

yeap. i wish that was in my backyard and could run laps all day.

couple more of the cave not from the phone, something unreal about jumping into a hole and doing this shit.

got a couple in after work. this was a real nice 10.



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.

ex-powbro, how do you get your photos to align correctly? mine are vertical on the drive but always load screwy on TGR

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?
