Some routes I'd never done on Wall Street, good times!

Yesterday (see below) was the crack house on a hundred degree day!

After all this talk about the best first ascent style we decided to go out and see what the hype was all about. Instead of confronting the plethora of clean, gymnastic sport climbs or the multitude of world class boulders avalaible in the area, we decided to go and do some honest-to-goodness supertopo best-first-ascent-style first ascents.

Pasty-white-guy (me) does hero pose at the start of a best-first-ascent-style first ascent (does it look like I have enough gear for a 60 foot 5.9?):

Afterwards Martín did what I believe is called a "pink-point" ascent, clipping the gear I had already placed on lead. While admittedly this is very poor style for a first ascent, I believe it is considered acceptable style for the second ascent.

I have to admit, we had a blast doing this (and several other) best-first-ascent-style first ascents. However, next weekend (if the weather holds) I think we're back to sport climbing.

Nice! ^^^^^^

Took a lap on my project...with a belay, finally(!)from Tucson Legend Scotty Mac.
Got it with 2 hangs. Progress!
Read'm n weep

Then we decided to go for an unclimbed crack/groove.
It was packed with dirt and pine needles which made the GU lead a bitch.
We yo yo'd it.
The crack led to an interesting chimney with dikes and huecos and eventually led to an established bolted face to the top of the pinnacle.

Scotty yardsaled my gear and hiked off

And I spent a beautiful solo night in the backcountry

The end

HI SCOTT......LURKER!

A long way from where I started

I climbed under my bathroom sink and spent five f*#king hours there.

We've now got a new sink and faucet and fittings, but it was not fun. One of those straighforward jobs that should have taken a couple of hours, but wound up being a serious trial.

Yech!

Roping up the boulder routes at Deer Park again in Rocklin.
Still can't get up that splitter crack with the drill holes at the front, or up the corner arete just west of the big slab at the back.
Pitched off backward and upside down at the dead tree in the middle, then went up left through the poison oak to mantle the lip.
Got the itch for climbing a pitch.

Kor's Flake @ Lumpy Ridge, CO. The amount of blood drawn in the chimmney/off width coupled with free flowing swear words, and a somewhat state of "permagripped" was confirmation I gotta get out more. Layton Kor was a bad ass huh!
