El Portal Life
Highway 12 over Lolo Pass eventually meeting up with highway 395. 1150 miles.
Moonlight Buttress
Cole and I climbed Moonlight Buttress. This involved a day to climb the first several pitches, a rest day, and then we did the route in a day. I don’t have pictures from the ascent day because my camera broke on this trip (again).
A chap by the name of Alex Honnold got famous by climbing this route without a rope in a little over two hours on April 1, 2008.
Zion NP: Hiking Hop Valley
Last week I went for a hike. Hop Valley trailhead to Kolob Arch and back.
It was lovely. Here’s what it looked like sometimes.
The Glass Menagerie (In Part)
How I spent my birthday. Took the alternate route completely bypassing the 2nd and most of the 3rd pitch. Some of my proudest climbing ever.
Invisible Airwaves Redux
Came back to give Invisible Airwaves another hammerless attempt. Made it to the first bolt on the second pitch again and bailed again. Must be getting better though as it was less horrifying this time.
Looking Glass – North Side
My first time on the North Side.
Drive-bike-walk-climb-walk-bike-drive.
Aid Climbing at Looking Glass
I decided if I’m going to get up El Capitan I need to learn how to aid climb better. These pictures were all during from my first visit to the South Side of Looking Glass yesterday.
Cedar Rock with Steve
Met my friend Steve in Brevard and spent a day a sunny day at Cedar Rock. It was my first time climbing there. Lots of water coming down but we managed to find some parts that were (mostly) dry. Steve was a big factor for me getting back into climbing after moving to Missoula and it was great to meet up with him in the east.
