Popular Post Barb Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Today was a long day. We did these 2 sections. The climbing was way above my ability but I topped out in 2 of my routes so I was thrilled with that. Learned a ton about anchors etc. I am bruised, sore and dog tired. Rinse and repeat tomorrow. Was climb belay, climb belay so didn’t get a chance to take any action shots. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Finally some action shots! Our guide actually took a few today but I didn’t get them from her yet. But an amateur photographer was watching us and took a bunch of our climb and rappel. I was wearing dark colors today so I sort of blend in with the rock. We climbed slab today which is slightly tilted sandstone with basically nothing to hold on to. Once in a while you get some ok holds but it’s mostly trusting that your feet will stick while inching your way up. I cursed and grunted a lot! We did not climb this part but a cool pic he took peaceful sunrise 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Cool tent/camper thing so does one person sleep in the top and the other in the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Yes I sleep in the camper and Shannon sleeps up top. She has a 0 degree sleeping bag but she knows she can come in w me if she gets too cold. I have heat in the teardrop but there are def still cold spots. It’s warm enough but not totally comfortable. Been in the low 30’s at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be looking for a hotel..and in a zero degree sleeping bag I’d be roasting but I’m fat and hairy which Shannon isn’t except maybe under her arms and on her legs if she’s that kind of gal lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Yesterday we started the morning climbing Looking Glass Arch. I have been to this area before but opted out of the climbing due to the 120’ free rappel. I decided it was time to suck it up and try. It’s a 3 pitch 350’ climb on fairly easy rock. The crux is the first 6’ getting off the ground. I lost my footing here tried to catch myself and put some nice holes in my puffy, womp womp. this is the 3rd pitch where it gets much less vertical. I had a full on meltdown at the top waiting to rappel and cried my eyes out then we drove to another area and started working on climbing cracks. Really fucking hard! I was not able to get more than 10’ off the ground with much effort Shannon killed it and made the top the technique in the chimney was a bit easier. Gonna do all cracks today and hopefully get done a bit earlier so we can go to the rec center and take a shower.

Popular Post toast21602 Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Spent some time in Prague last night and today en route to Olomouc for a work trip. Walked downtown last night for some food and beer and ran around old city this morning before heading out. Cool place. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
