Mt Hevans

Fall is in the air at Mt. Evans and it is a good time to be a climber!


This past weekend, we had a great Saturday at area A. Kristen spent some time on Maker's Mark and has the beta dialed for the send.
Rich was having some trouble with the campus move but it certainly wasn't from a lack of try-hard! Just look at that face!
I got to spend some time on the low start to the Dali. Despite being very close, I didn't pull it out. Maybe next time.
Rich got psyched on the stand start to the Dali and was coming very close to sticking the dyno. The problem is so much fun from there!
I also got psyched (and scared) on Pat's arete. Looking at the pictures, it seems like you are a lot closer to the next hold than you feel while climbing! I'm excited to get back on this next time!
Flanimal is killing it as usual. Here she is working the moves on Clear Blue Skies. She can do all the moves and is now working on the link up. Keep it up flan!
It was feeling distinctly fall like this weekend. Prime conditions kids. Plan your sending trips soon!

massively super dope! once you stick the sloping right hand deadpoint on the right/i.e. true arete version of pat's arete, note that a left heel hook makes the move to the top CASUAL. so, it's all over once you snag that right hand shit, mang! snag that mow foe!

ps: the powers of the flannimal are even more treacherous than those of rylayden [voltron combo of rylan and hayden].

pss: i analyzed the photo of rich and have determined that the move would be way easier if he used all four business fingers and maybe even his thumb on the left hand hold rather than just crimping w/ his pinky and ring fingers. just cause the photos of caldwell look dope when he's all fingerless on stuff, doesn't mean that this method will work well for rich. next thing you know rich will be wearing arm elastic like carmello and iverson, [like kehl loves to do.... kehl loves ninjas AND nuggets basketball]
