Like you said its not over yet, but my climbing season ends first weekend in October. then its huntin season, then its skiin season... no winter climbing for this cat, backcountry skiin is diferent, I don't consider that to be climbing sumtin, its skiin sumtin....

sobo Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 As far as climbing went this summer, I really sucked. Only got out on rock like three times, nothing spectacular. On one volcano, nothing spectacular. My summer went like this... 1. Brought our baby boy home from Vietnam 2. Went family camping with our baby boy for the first time 3. Celebrated our baby boy's 1st birthday on Orcas Island I have become domesticated. Some of you out there who've been through "The Dark Years" with your first-ones, please tell me it's not all over for me... Quote

ketch Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I got on the rock a lot more this summer than last. Three tops were; 3. Took a small group of college newbies out. Three went along ond one of those is now hooked. 2. Did a few classes for a High school camp. Climbed some new rock. 12 kids went 4 are hooked. 1. The best was at the high school camp. A little off line from the 5.5 chimney the kids were doin some of them spotted a few bolts. They asked me how could you get to those? I tied into their top rope and started to show them a few fancy moves. Before I knew it I was at the top tellin them to lower. I was really stoked when I got out the guide and found that it was a .12a. Haven't done one of those in 4 or 5 years. Quote
