MtnHigh Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Ok Wayne, you've pulled me out of my shell. Posting climbs on cc recently has not been something I wake up in the morning looking forward to, but it's time for all of us to share our experiences and contribute to the community we have here.

DPS Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I did not climb ONCE all summer, or even do a trail run. Instead I renovated my 1906 Victorian home and put it on the market last week. It sold in thee days. Thanks to High Climb and CatBirdSeat for their help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvs Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I climbed a lot this year, nothing "hardman" but lots of incredible scenes. 1) Triple Couloirs - with HighClimb and others. 2) A week in Sierras with HighClimb - Matthes Crest, Fairview, Bear Creek Spire were highlights. 3) A week in the Bugs with RobertM and Mark Pratt - NE Arete Bugaboo, McTech Arete, etc. 4) The Ptarmigan Traverse with Der Wanderer - peakbagging, fantastic scenery, jeezey! 5) W Face Sloan, NE Ridge Triumph, N Ridge Baker - three great "medium classics" with friends. 6) Late season skulk into the Pickets for a walk up. 7) Lots of mornings at Index working the cracks, getting schooled, taking a nice fall. I feel so satisfied, kind of long-term tired, enjoying the break from climbing, hanging out at home, nothing to prove to myself. Now I play piano, watch movies, read and go camping. But there are great climbs that will keep me excited about next summer: N Ridge Stuart, Liberty Ridge, Sleese. I have two main thoughts now: Raise a glass to all the great partners who help you live your dreams. And it's the life at home that nurtures the life in the mountains. Come home, embrace it and find peace. In the tradition of "jumping the shark": namaste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come home, embrace it and find peace. indeed, and vice-versa, the mountains make life at home so much more! lying in a sunny field, good music with friends, the smell of fresh bread, a warm bed, all have more significance after some hard work in the hills.

sketchfest Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I had a pretty dry summer as far as climbing is concerned. Spent the whole thing getting ready to do a 100 mile mtn bike race in CO. (definitely a highlight to have finished) I did have three great experiences that where climbing or semi-climbing related: 1) trail run around Hood with younger brother - at night 2) trail run almost up to summit of Olympus and back with mtnhigh & Funguy 3) first multi-pitch climb with my son (Moscow 5.6 @ Smith) That was by far the best of them all, makes me teary just thinking about it.
