went up north to camp on the water and fire some easy high balls but the sea was going nuts. this is a vb i was hoping to try first facing the pacific. damn.
didn’t get too shaky in berkeley but it’s an urban crag and those holds are pretty polished so i just don’t look down past my feet. how does anyone else do this stuff? if it had been harder i would not have been so comfortable, i think it was a v2j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Got the chance to do the East Face of Mt Whitney on Saturday. A bit chilly in the morning, but great weather and a fun climb altogether.

Kor-Ingalls on Castleton post crux selfie:
I threw my helmet into the back of the chimney so my head would fit. Then I squirmed in and brought it up dangling from a double length runner.

Some pics from our autumn holiday trip to the zillertal in Austria. Nice rock but pretty small areas.
I guess I'm spoiled by the Swiss areas.

Way to milk it in sub-par conditions!!
I am always amazed when people go for it on wet/snowy rock. There are videos out there of crazy Belgians Sean Villanueva & Nico Favresse sending really hard rock pitches in Patagonia and Antartica in the middle of snow storms, protecting icy cracks, brushing snow off crimps, etc... Makes me complain less when I think the friction isn't perfect because it's 3 degrees too warm!
Speaking of friction, it's prime season for LCC granite and the forecast looks like another week of the same:

Gordon's Hangover in the GreenA gully. Someone trundled a huge loose block on it recently, had to see how it changed the route...

There are a couple new insecure moves to approach the flake, basically where you used to be able to hand jam against the block on one side and use the other edge as a mega jug. That section is now a fist-sized crack full of gravel and more lose blocks, it will clean up but for now it's a titch harder/more insecure as you have to make a slabby move and can't get gear. Placing the gear way out left in the flake is also harder as it used to be done sitting on the pillar. I could see people placing gear further in and getting mad rope drag from it now. And there's probably one extra move to get straight up into the flake as the stance is a good foot lower now. Overall it's still 9+ because of the crux above but it got a bit more sustained getting there.

Some pics to start the new page, a bit of a season in review sprinkled with scenic shots (all from my phone so nothing spectacular):
Choss Garden in Big Cottonwood Canyon, some of the best sport lines in the canyon:
Back of Beyond, BCC, sick black quartzite mixed lines:
Jungle on the Aquarius Plateau, beats even the Uintas for summer climbing (because NOBODY goes there).
FA of a dirty crack at the Jungle:
Obligatory shot of Lone Peak's Question Mark Wall from the top of Center Thumb:
Classic LCC granite slabbing on the Black Peeler
More LCC, Disco Duck and Strewn Masters of Gore
Solid flake 3 pitches up in Tanners, LCC; you have to yard on it, mantle it, place gear behind it, the works...
Slacklines in Tanners. These guys were having a blast.
The non granitic less solid parts of LCC: Devil's Castle (Horns of Satan) and Hellgate (Medusa and Hellgate Highway)
One of the best crags I've ever been to, with sweet spring options in the background:
Perfect Uintas crack and possibilities for next season:
And my favorite place to be, the West Desert! West Sawtooth Canyon, Candyland:
Upper West Sawtooth Canyon:
Notch Peak, the great monster:
The Anticrack:
Endless possibilities at Ibex:
The Blob crags and a very unimpressed dog:
