No climbing friends could be pulled out of the woodwork for Thursday sessioning, so I headed out to my new Castlewood / Morrison / Haunt, GARDEN OF THE GODS!!!
It was back to the snake pit to finish up something I had been messing with last time. It was beautiful out, and I was the only person around. RAD.
Utilizing Bob Horan inspired tactics, I was able to create a few self portraits of me pulling down on some problems. (the main difference between Bob's photos and my own is that I actually CLIMBED the lines I am pictured on)
The one below is a really squeezy arete on poor slopers that has an ass-dragger start. All the makings of some solo-session fun!
After figuring out some body position issues, I pulled the crux move, and got to enjoy the next 10 feet of easy, enjoyable climbing. Definitely my favorite way to spend a day off!
I have at least one day off this weekend... can anyone tell me if the Kahuna boulder is still submerged, or if it might be climbable?
