Back in Session


Finally, climbing at the Gorge is back in session. The trips down there have been full of psych and first ascents, even though it is slightly out of session. It is so great to back out the rock. Tim, Jesse, and "Pound it" Rob and I met up a couple of times. Tim got the FA of my route, grading it around 12b/c, and calling it Shiver me Timmers. I am waiting for a partner and a cool morning or evening to get back out there and send that thing. Tim, Jesse, and Rob made it back to on old area, the Beer Cans, to put up a slew of new problems. There is so much to be done there. Jesse and I took a day to hike a new ridge, with some good potential. The Flaming Gorge certainly has a lifetime amount of bouldering. Chris Jones and I also had a nice productive session on my Green River Project. Together we unlocked the end and the stand will probably be around hard v9 and the sit will be around v11. So psyched to get back on that thing, as soon as my fingers and temps are good.
It will probably be mostly sport climbing for me since my fingers are jacked. We will be traveling to place like; Wild Iris, American Fork, Causey, and Hoop Lake almost every weekend. Need to send a lot of routes this summer...need to get back in shape.
