VMC Direct/Direct on Cannon, NH
I'm pleased that I can still manage this at 67. The 3rd pitch is one of my all time favorites. The route features many pitches of 5.10+ It was a nice way to end the season up here.

Snuck out after work again today. Got to lead one of our best climbs. A sweet 10d Mad Woman. Isa getting her turn. I then brought Curtis up a 5.7 and a 5.9. (it got kind of dark out) Curtis is the homeowner who lives 200m from the base of our cliff. He recently moved here and is getting back into rock climbing after a long stint of High altitude mountainering. Totally stoked to have this in his back yard and lets me park in his drive knocking 25 min off the approach:) Amazeingly enough despite coming from North Conway BINTD Curtis is happy that I put a bunch of bolts on his cliff:)

Well thanks, they are probably better height for bouldering more than anything, but that's encouraging.
To watch this thread, and thumb through the others that are climbing related, I'm left in awe and admiration at what all you guys scramble up. It's truly amazing.
Course, then there are the other political threads and crap, where it sort of falls apart. Ha! Ok, enough of that... back to the climbing.

Jaybro,
I've never seen such big cams---holy crap
Jim, that was a good one!
I would love to get you on the VMC before you get TO OLD- ha,ha
Tradman- I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems on the Direct/Direct.
What I hate about the Winters up here, is that I have to start all over again, every Spring, to get in shape. Winters Suck.

Took my daughter and her new boyfriend up a Cob Rock classic. Neither of them had ever had to Tyrolean across a raging river, and it was Matt's first multi pitch ever.

I dunno, you'll have to come out and try for yourself, Locker :)
Mike M, is that where we went? I'm guessing you had a lot of skiing to get there!
I was a canyoneer today.

South Face of Castle rock boulder canyon.
Just did it today. Hadn't done it in like 15 yrs! Don't know why that thing is classic! That second pitch is as much a 'thinker' as it was 15 yrs ago! No pictures, but that thing is cool. Go do it if you haven't.
Still buzzin!
Just sayin,
S...

Yeah same place Jaybro we walked up from the road below and the hillside is south facing so all of the snow had melted off. Jack got some practice putting in gear on lead on a couple of the short cracks.
Steve A that looks like an awesome route. I would love to get out to the NE sometime.
