Slab climbing and hiking near the Grimsel
1/2 Yesterday my wife and I flew from the heat into the mountains. We did some climbing and hiking near the Grimsel. Slab climbing on granite. It's challenging for the calf muscles and for the mind as there is just noting to hold on but perfect to train your trust in your feet as well as finding and feeling tiny pockets for placing your feet.#climbing
Shenanigans and candids from Red River Gorge, July 2024
Had a great time with some friends at RRG last month. I made another post with more sporty shots, but here are some of my favorite shenanigans and candid shots from the trip. One of my favorite moments is the first picture, where I anchored directly into the third bolt of a route so I could use my fancy camera to get some pictures of friends climbing the route next to it. Can't wait to go back!

“Curt’s Craigs” named after a friend of ours.
“Curt’s Craigs” named after a friend of ours. Great solid volcanic (andesite) rock. Pre-fire we had a 5.6 climbing route up the middle called Garden Tool in honor of the cleaning needed to establish the route. Now it is covered with fallen log debris and poison oak. The belay tree on the top isn’t looking so crash hot either. #RockClimbing
Just back from sport #climbing at Horseshoe Quarry in the #peakdistrict.
Just back from sport #climbing at Horseshoe Quarry in the #peakdistrict. Weather was really good with just a couple of short rain showers yesterday. The rock in the quarry was in pretty good condition. I lead a route and did a multi pitch on a 32m route in the slab section. It has been pretty special climbing in warm sunshine in the UK.
Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out.
Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out. Great conditions last night, and breezy enough to keep the midge at bay until almost 9pm. For #Northumberland sandbag aficionados, let me recommend Fakir's Slab. VDiff?!! They must be mad!! Fun route, afterwards, but approach it as you would a poorly protected and slopey Severe. #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing
Very pleasant afternoon and evening at Crag Lough, with a brief jaunt up Sunset at Peel Crag on the way back to the car park...
Very pleasant afternoon and evening at Crag Lough, with a brief jaunt up Sunset at Peel Crag on the way back to the car park... it had to be done! And midge-free, surprisingly!! My first time leading Hadrian's Buttress too; a classic 3-star Severe towards the end of Crag Lough. Great route! 🧗 #Northumberland #Climbing #TradClimbing
