Last year, when I did Triplett with Walter, I didn’t imagine myself ever heading back to Owens Ridge. The trek to the wall is drudgery, taking nearly an hour (unless you’re a stealthy hiker). By the time I get to the wall, my legs are tired and I’m out of breath and I’m hot and I’m miserable. What can I say, I’m a typical lazy climber. Ideally, I’d drive up to the base of the wall, start the climb from the hood of the car and be on my way! (more…)
On Sunday afternoon, Dennis & I went out bouldering to Black Planets. We ran into Evan & Rebecca & Greg there. It was great to see them out, it has been way too long! (more…)
Hayley swung by to get me at “oh early thirty” in the morning. We drove to get Walter, and I slept in the back while they chit chatted. I had been feeling sick ever since we got back from Japan. This was the first day I wasn’t hacking and couphing. I still had a pretty gnarly headache and also a minor fever, so I took a sick day. I had also been overworking myself in the office recently, so I needed some time to relax mentally. A nice warm sunny day up at ORG was just what climbergirl needed! (more…)
Sunday at 11:15am, Hayley and I set out for AH. We got there 1.5 hours later, stoked and ready to climb. We had a great day, climbing from about 1pm to 6pm, we did 6 routes. (more…)
April 21st, Walter & I went to NJC to climb. He posted a great report on the ridgecrestclimbers site. As a very minor and not too important update to Walter’s great trip report I would like to add:I didn’t redpoint the Step Across-that was an onsight. (more…)
