Anyone here climb at The Hand today (11/30)?
« on: November 30, 2015, 08:35:44 PM »
Or know someone who did?

On my way back to the car around 3 I saw someone on Love Line (I think) from across the valley and shot a half dozen pics of them. None of them are Ansel Adams (I just have a little point-and-shoot and was on the move), but the angle's cool and I though it might be a nice variety from the typical butt shot most climbers get. If anyone can ID and is interested I'll gladly send them the set.

Over-taxed zoom pic:


A couple of the other pics are quite a bit better, but I think this one gives the best chance to recognize the climber.

Yeah, I ran into those two guys at Discovery Wall in late morning. They asked about Love Line and I strongly recommended the route to them... Looks like they headed out there after all. I never caught their names, and the taller of the two guys (the one in the pic, I think) said this was only their second time at the Pinns. If I see them again I'll give them my email and let you know so you can send me your photos.

Thanks Gavin. Sounds like it's a longshot, but hopefully you'll cross paths again.

I spoke with one of these guys at the gym last night.  I see him again I will tell him about the pictures.

One step closer! Thanks Aaron.

Feel free to give him my email: meatplanet@yahoo.com.  I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it (I'm hopelessly irresponsible about reading my emails unless I'm expecting something).

Drew and his partner were at the gym last night and told them about the photos.  He will be contacting you soon!
