| | 5.8 | Sport | | | | | | aka The Dark Side of Oz | | | escaped the 115 degree day in the valley by heading up mt. lemmon with john
he had picked out an area known as the towers, which is part of munchkinland
here's a link for the area:
http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-towers/106124408
looks like the data base on haz is from rockclimbing.com, and the beta on the towers is mixed with munchkinland and a little out-dated
mountainproject.com has more current info, for those of you interested in moderate sport climbing
this was an excellent choice for the day
shade early, and some cover provided by trees and clouds in the afternoon
easy approach, longer climbs, and a beautiful setting
started with two easier warmup leads, then moved to lullabye league, which has a difficult start
next attempted a chimney climb in the shade
the beta says stay in the chimney as long as possible, but i couldn't reach the bolts to clip doing it that way, so i moved to the face
one of the mountainproject comments says that the face is closer to a 5.10, and i believe it
made it up, but it was ugly
did this one again on top-rope staying in the chimney, and that felt a lot easier, just as the route was intended
took a snack break after that little project
led two more climbs on the second tower, finishing with a nice long 5.8 on an arete
all of the climbs were well-protected
had just a perfect day up there, with plenty of climbs we could do, and only a few others nearby
one gal belaying her husband scared me a little, so we kept an eye on her
gym to rock is an adjustment - it has been for me, anyway
have really enjoyed getting outside with john so often this summer
had dinner at el charro afterwards, which is quickly becoming a favorite
thanks for an awesome day of climbing, an excellent meal, and great company, john |

But I wasn't feeling well at all, so I only did about 3 or 4 routes.
However, it turned out to be no problem. The real challenge was finding hand holds and a lot of pinching was going on.
