Bass Creek Climbing
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.
Built to Spill – “Made Up Dreams”
“No one wants to hear what you dreamt about, unless you dreamt about them. Don’t let that stop you, tell them anyway.”
Django Reinhardt – The Sheik of Araby
One of the greatest guitarists who has ever lived, and he did it all with 2 fingers.
Le Grande Teton: The Climbing
The quality of the rock was excellent. We traded leads and moved quickly as retreating if the weather got bad would be rather difficult.
Le Grande Teton: Early Morning
We set our alarms for 4:30am but I was awake before then. We made breakfast in the dark and set out to find the base of the route. About halfway there it was light enough to not need headlamps anymore. Our plan was to do the Beyer East Face I, and we were at the base of the climb before 7am.
Le Grande Teton: The Approach
I spent the last couple days climbing the Grande Teton with my friend Conor. It was beautiful and humbling. Before you climb you hike 7 miles, gaining around 5000 ft of elevation.
A Bit of Glacier
A few days spent in the western part of the park last week. Dollar dollar billz yall.
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.
