Rope soloed a chossy little (think 25ft) piece of granite plug up toward Washoe Boulders. Forgot the Silent Partner, so used a clove hitch on a locker. Practiced clean aid, and on the blank face next to it stuck a couple pins for practice (oh my god no! not pins!). Doesn't look like anyone's ever bothered, though there might be a couple bouldering routes of worth. Or not. Everyone just drives right on by it on the way to the boulders, and I'm not a boulderer, so who knows? Forgot the phone, so maybe today I'll drive up and get a pic or two after work and post it up here later.
Looks like a nice spot for a boulder pad on the one side, with a little overhang and some decomposing crap for a challenge. The side I climbed was pretty solid.
Snow sucks on a dirtbike, or I suck at riding one in the snow anyway. ha!

PERFECT temps yesterday. I finally got out of the house to get a few laps of climbing in. I was solo top-roping so I don't have pics but this guy Brandon Riza posted some beautiful pictures on Mountain Project a few days ago. Most scenic spot in the entire Santa Monicas IMO.

Sunny & Steep wall at red rocks. Did 4 or 5 routes from 10b to 12a. Didn't actually send the 12, but put in the work on 2 tries such that if an when I ever go back, it ought to go down.
Not bad for just coming back to climbing in October after being inactive for 10 years. 3 months ago I could barely get through 5.9. 2 months ago I could manage 5.10a but couldn't even do all the moves on a 5.10c. Etc, etc... Slow steady improvement is all I can hope for.

Climbed that skinny pillar way up high in this photo. My leggs are a bit stiff today;) look straight up from the (C) on the photo and that is the line. Lean snow year so 50m WI2 gully to get to the snowfield below the climb. 50m WI4 followed by 30m 4+++. the pillar was in borderline 5 condition. got to go shoot a ski race now,, running late...

Locker. The climb is WI4 in the book but the actual condition of the climb made it feel as hard as some of the WI5s that I have done. With water ice a +- is a full grade inmop so calling it a 5- would be 2 grades harder than the published grade of WI4 kind of like getting on a 5.9 that is actually 11a
The upper pillar was much steeper and sustained than normal. often there is a rest half way up that was not there. the ice conditions were really funkyas well with hollow brittle candles on either side but a gushing fire hose in the center and dead verticle.. Really exciteing technicle fun climbing.

Cragging day with friends. Forecast called for a somewhat nice day but heavy clouds and lots of wind made for a slight sufferfest. Got on a few good climbs and kept telling myself that it was good alpine training to climb hard stuff in the cold.
Not much of a football fan so I am gonna watch some cartoons and post on the stoner threads!
