Climbing in Bass Creek Canyon for the first time ever. Closer to Missoula than Kootenai!
Fall Cragging
Yesterday Conor, Tess, Steve and I went out to Kootenai Canyon. I was proud of myself for getting to the top of Venus deMilo, at 5.11d my hardest route attempted on lead ever.
Also, on Saturday I did my first rope solo in Lolo with Conor. Rope-soloing means you are using a rope to protect your falls but no one is belaying you. I think I might be a fan.
Mendocino, CA
We left San Francisco and drove up Highway 1. Eventually we were in Mendocino. A ridiculously quaint town full of artists overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Powell-Mason Cable Car Line
San Francisco, leaving you can be such a drag. Family vacay in C A ended yesterday.
One morning the ‘rents and I rode cable cars. A charming experience.
Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Backpacking
3 days outside with my friend Brian and his dog Max. These are from the first day, where we camped at Rainbow Lake.
