| partners | | It was an unusual day in May where the weather was unseasonably cool. So we decided to take advantage of the situation and took on a fun trip up Babo! Finally, I got to the top in the daylight.
The hike up was good. Trail faint at times but not a problem. Ended up bushwhacking a short section probably more out of stubbornness than anything else. I just didn’t bother to look at my GPS when it was obvious that we were off trail.
Joel led pitch 1 up past a chockstone. The second pitch the guys all free solo-ed while I was belayed up. The third pitch was the ladder pitch which again the guys mostly went up without the rope I opted for a belay.
We were on top before noon! Made my goal of getting there before dark! After a lunch we headed back down. We rappelled all three pitches. I set up the first one since I hadn’t been able to help with leading.
We were so energized by the delightful day we practically ran back to the vehicle! |
