Lets face it it is the ass end of climbing season right now, no ski, no climb rock, no ice. So we are all fervently talking climbing and chestbeating etc. cause we cant actually climb.
SO to get the real bruising of the ribcage going the topic is: what 5 climbing accomplishments are you most proud of over the past year, also what was your biggest failure of the year?
mine
1) snootli express
2) niut range trip, finally made it into the REAL COAST RANGE
3) Castle Mountain in the Rockies finally! that trip was maybe funnest trip of the year.
4) mad science at the rehabs, been eying up that line for about 7 years now
5) 3rd pitch of gibraltar wall rock variation with only a spectre hooked in a crack for pro
and the big failure is a toss up between a) bailing off Slesse yet again or b)not climbing Queen Bess, hell, not even hiking in to Queen Bess
