 | Toprope | 5.10a | Toprope | G | 1 Pitch | 90 ft | | | nice arête climb | | | | Angel Wing |
| Toprope | 5.10b | Toprope | G | 1 Pitch | 90 ft | | | 2nd pitch | | | haven't climbed outside in over a year 
had an opportunity to get out with mike and fletch again, same place we climbed last 4th of july
no need to leave town early, as the main wall gets shade around noon
slightly different drive in due to access issues
high clearance needed
made the 1.14 mile approach through a wash, up on a plateau, down into pine narrows and along a ledge
not easy, especially with a pack full of gear and water
started with green lantern, a long 5.8 - good warm up climb, and a chance for me to get reacquainted with rock
moved to the center part of the main wall for everything's gone green, a 5.9 crack (trad)
next followed the ledge to the south - quite a drop off from the ledge, at one point there's a hand line for balance
angel wing is a four pitch climb, but we just did the second pitch, a 5.10b
i did not get this one cleanly, with a hang and a route finding error - next time! still fun 
mellow yellow is a 5.10a that follows an arête
some nice exposure with a small roof
mike led everything, i did all climbs on toprope, fletch had a great lead on angel wing and followed the others
my leading days are probably over, and i greatly enjoy the harder climbs (for me) on toprope
three new routes for me
felt good on the rock after so much gym time
need to refresh on some of the other skills, like cleaning the anchor and efficient rope management
had a great time in a beautiful setting with great partners
weather held one more day - pleasant enough in the shade with a breeze
any objections to posting the approach route?
also have a track for the drive in |
