Three days of climbing.
« on: January 04, 2014, 07:35:25 PM »
Got in three days of climbing spread over two weeks of vacation- one day at a time.  All three days had perfect weather.  Too Much driving    Boring old guys report with a few photos.


First time on the west side in about 15 years-

Bits 'n' Pieces
 

Climbing Partners for more than 30 years nearing 35 years


Machete Ridge- Old Original


Old Original- a classic with exposure


Condor


Most people on this forum have stood on this stone. We first did this climb about 30 years ago together and this was our second time.


Same area


Nice view


Cool Spot


 
Twinkle Toes-easy but fun


Very fun and easy .6 on Chalkstone Dome

Nice Jeff. As one of those who has likely stood on that rock I still had a hard time figuring out which climb it is on. Best guess (it had to be a route that was around 30 years ago) was Tilting Terrace?

We looked for you on Friday, and even hung around a little hoping we'd run in to you, but no luck.

Sorry we missed you. We parked on the east side and hiked in, stashed packs just east of the cave, slowly did Old Original and got down at 3:30 and had an easy hike out.  Sure needs rain.

We saw one party in Tilting Terrace area and one on the Balconies, they may have even been the same party of two. That was the only other climbers we saw but we heard some in from the high peaks.  Machete Ridge was awesome and the Condor hung out near use for about 20 minutes.

Correct!

Late to the game but props for nice pics.  Stoking my climbing fires.   >:D

Looks like there is a particular stone on which I need to pose.
The "best" climber is the one having the most fun.
