Mark and I have been getting out to Leavenworth almost every weekend for the last two months. We started pretty low on the rating scale due to my whimpiness and his injured back. BUT, it's just been a blast and we did make progress on dealing with our lead-head trips and worked up a bit through the rating scale. In contrast to our mutual pasts, we concentrated more on slabs. This is from Whutza Point. The season for Leavenworth is about over, and so we're going to have to figure out steep columnar basalt cracks again, i.e. how to hang in there to place pro.
I think Sammy Johnson said: 'Cameral tilting is the last refuge of a weak climber or lame photographer'.

north peak is looking thin(er) than usual. Is that a real bergschrund near the bottom?
I won't be making my annual North Peak climb this fall, thanks for posting that Stewie.

Had a great day throwing down on some brandy-new 5.fun routes at First Pullout. Great weather, met some cool folks, and both the wife and I got some good leads in. Pretty damn nice day.

Put up a new 500ft route on this wall on the western flanks of Harney Peak that went at 5.8, 5.8, and 5.9. Ground up with no fixed gear.

Yesterday (today was a really good one as well but no photos)
This one's short but it's kind of tricky and and it was a big deal for me since I had't done it in like eight or ten years
Fede came back to have another go at this one

Topo of yesterdays route. One of the best I have been involved with putting up. Really hard and great day for me as it was very involved getting there and getting back. It was about as far into the wilderness as you can get around here on one of the biggest walls in the needles with no fixed gear done ground up.

Mike, awesome looking line in pure style. Props to you!
We wanted to go climbing today, but I had to put it off due to neglecting too much RL stuff and going climbing.
Heading to Ogden next weekend, but in the next couple weeks I hope to climb and post a TR on an obscure route in Red Rock that isn't in the books. Nothing special grade wise but fun anyways.

So she goes to all that trouble to steal the car and the gear and then goes to Rockland?! Ouch
haha, well ol' Rockland is right down the street from us, which might be "ouch" for climbing but is an easy drive for my kid, given her age.
our other local crags require a lil' freeway time, more anon behind the wheel for that ;)
