I climbed North Face Center with Michael while John and Russ climbed Empor.
Then, I had a bout of serious dehydration. I chugged my entire Nalgene of water and still felt crummy. It must have been after effects of attending the Stapleton Beer Festival the night before. I felt so thirsty, it was a little unsettling. (more…)
We had an adventurous day in Boulder Canyon. We navigated two Tyroleans, scrambled up mystery climbs, used “group think” to solve cruxes, and dropped off some shoes to RockNResoles (even though the sign said they were closed, they let me in and took my money…WOO-HOO!). Climbing gods were kind to us as we had great weather, no gear issues, no injuries, no safety problems, and no annoying babies or dog mishaps. (more…)
I climbed Bakerdango, a combination of Baker’s Way and Fandango, for the third time. The climb is part of an effort to become a rock climbing leader with the CMC Boulder group. It was my first co-lead and I have one more to go. Rick followed Brenda and Dave followed me. We ladies were the ropeguns…boo-ya! (more…)
Brenda and I climbed at Cadillac Crag in Eldorado Canyon. We climbed V3 (5.8) and Ghetto Cruiser (5.7). She was the ropegun and I was fine with it. I was still pretty exhausted from running the marathon the prior weekend. In fact, the hike up to the crag just about did me in! I was happy the routes were available and it wasn’t too hot. (more…)
Brenda and I climbed at Capitalist Crag. She was the rope gun for the day, leading Lunch Money (5.9+), Cheap Labor (5.10a), and Mounty (5.7+). We had a fun time. The weather flip flopped between bursts of bright sun and dark clouds with gusts of wind. We finished around 3pm. (more…)
