100% dirtbags afterwards too. No work for me either today big guy. Another positive note for this adventure was getting to hike the trail with not a soul in the early hours.

Made the connection no problem, but I'd like to know what route she's on in her Avatar photo. Nice-looking crack, that.

Holy sheeeeiiit Mike! I didn't know your epic was gonna turn into that! I feel bad for not coming up to bring water. I would have totally ditched my dinner party guests at my house to come help you if I knew it went that bad. Oh well...
I'm glad you got it all sorted out in the end.
Bad Relic.

Haha my last name is Fulcher. In high school I got Vulcher a lot and a few years a friend called me Vulch. I kind of liked it.

How does Seaside Rendezvous involve alcohol?
Isn't that a Anders route? With the stupid traverse at the end?
Maybe you're actually on Berrycup instead?

Did the badge on the weekend. The sun didn't touch us until 4pm so it was super sweet. It all went smoothly, had loads of fun, and found the climbing straight forward and enjoyable until the dirty end....
First A3 of the route. This is an inverted cam hook move. Not a very hard pitch, but one of the better ones on the route.
Grant, who has only done a pitch on Wrist Twister before, crushing this pitch full of small fixed heads and requiring hammering. He did super well.
Nice
Me at the bags at the end of the 3rd, Chris out in space.
Chris tasting some thin A3. Not much was solid on this pitch.
Chris stoked to have cruised a stiff pitch.
Starting the crux roof.
Hanging off a couple of stacked blades.

Yay, I made it!
Grant enjoying the exposure.
Our camp above the roof...got there about 4.30pm in the afternoon and chilled there instead of doing anything climbing related.
Second last pitch. I took a silly fall on the one, and had really serious rope drag after the roofy bit. I run super long slings on things, but I think Revolvers would be key here.
Last pitch. Really crappy.
