Climb: Skaha-clip ups and cracks

 

Date of Climb: 3/27/2004

 

Trip Report:

Went to Skaha with Mer and Steve. Climbed a lot of gaper routes. Steve and Mer played rope gun yellaf.gif I hardly led anything. Drank a bunch of beer, ate a bunch of bagels. Sunny and cold on Saturday sunny and warm on Sunday. Not too busy at all. One tick and no rattlesnakes. Found a #3 Wild Country Rock lying in some bushes (booty smileysex5.gif). Saw some actual good climbers attempting some actually hard type routes but successfully avoided anything too hard ourselves.

 

Successful excuses used: "You should lead this cause its a classic and it is your fist time at Skaha, I wouldn't want to blow your chance to onsight it."

 

"It is too windy to climb this balancy arete - I might get blown off"

 

"Let's go climb in the sun instead."

 

"It's a perfect style for you to lead."

 

"If we walk out this way maybe we will see a rattlesnake."

"not too hard stuff"!???

 

man, do I feel like a gaper.

Wings of Desire (.11b, and loooong) has thrashed me repeatedly.

 

I never got on Gangbang, and The Dream absolutely terrified me! (good, and interesting, pro though, and I was a trad newbie at the time)

 

got a lot of work to do...
