On Veteran’s Day, Walter, Dennis, & I headed off for some warm Apple Valley climbing. The drive down went smooth, and before we knew it, we were at the parking lot. A very large dirt lot-as the gate into the park was locked.
We climbed 6 routes at the wall, ignoring a wide 5.7 crack. The climbs were all pretty short, but each provided their own special challenge.
I had a rough time on one of them-I threw a hissy fit on the rope. It was the most confounding climb there. Walter cruised it, no problemo. We climbed until our fingers were all raw (the rock is sharp there), and then we decided to come home.
Overall, a great day of climbing. Apple Valley has not seen the last of me!!!
