Maybe someone like Old Goat could identify the mystery 70's juice. Gotta be like a blue nun competitor, but it's before my time.
I am thinking about taking a trip down south in April to Nashville -- usually my favorite month to ski -- and would take a day to explore some southern rock. Shortoff is too far, does anyone have opinions about where in Tennessee I might want to go to get on a classic for the first time? Or do I go bouldering in Chatt? Obviously it's pretty early and I don't have tickets yet, but a worthwhile climb might push it over the top. Seems like Shortoff is too far...j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Climbing Stoke
scouting today, found this new dead vertical cliff! sike, one anchor at the top.
plein-air wolf? was pretty high ball, reminded me
of that line in utah but not as bad ass. maybe a v5ish problem id definitely bring shoes back for.
found this guy with a torch drying off his project.
lots and lots of boulders….j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

the snow sucks but at least we have the desert still.
here's me onsighting a new 10 at Pine Creek in the San Rafael Swell. super cool movement - up a chimney to an overhanging slot to a double crack system through a bulge. sustained and super fun!!

Ha, no. The route had so much drag (literally a rope eating channel of death) that before every crux I would yard up 10 feet of slack from a rest so that I could punch it and climb. I didn't even see the loop of slack (right above that rope eating channel) when I posted that pic, but it makes sense. Not surprised.
Luckily the falls would have been safe (but dramatic).

THE FIN ARETE!!
i'm honestly a little embarrassed to admit that it took me so long to get on this SLC classic slab route. put up in 1978 on lead, on sight, ground up by the Smoot brothers (age 17 and 18), this still feels like a rite of passage 40+ years on. we started at the base of the formation and linked 5 pitches into the base of the fin arete, climbing somewhat sustained 5.9 and 5.9+ slab to the crux 10b slab (pictured above). three pitches up the fin arete (including a dramatic, final160' 5.7 pitch with a single bolt for gear) , and then we finished on a final, 9th pitch called "shock trauma" - one of the best 5.10 slab pitches i've climbed anywhere in my life (though i fell at the crux on my onsight attempt!)
all in all, one of my very best days climbing in little cottonwood.

ha, i should have. belays are slightly different than marked on the original topo; there is now a bolted belay right at the base of what is marked 5.8 on that topo. from there to the tied off chicken head is a solid 40' of 5.7; thrilling stuff.
and yeah, two teenagers bolted that on lead, on sight, ground up. fucking nuts. note the 20 or so feet of 5.10 climbing to get to the first bolt on p2.
mad props.
now i just need to get brave enough to get on the dorsal fin.

I get a little nauseous just thinking about sandbagged old school-rated 10b LCC slab. Nice work!
