Climb: Careno Crag-Hodge-podge

 

Date of Climb: 11/8/2004

 

Trip Report:

A photo essay of some fine fall cragging on Careno Crag. The past couple weeks of climbing in Leavenworth have been perfect, though the days are shorter. Here's a collection of some of the climbs we did.

 

Wade stretching through the thin crack section of pitch one of the Regular Route: 5.10b

 

The crack turns into good crimps past 4 bolts.

 

Robbie on the 2nd pitch of Reg. Route: Nice 5.7 handcrack.

 

Robbie moving around the small roof of the 5.10b 3rd pitch crack of the Bale/Kramer route. Testing the limits of his rotator cuff??!!

 

The crack turns into lockdown fingers.

 

And finishes with a few o/w moves.

 

Wade on Pocketmeister, 5.10a.

 

Robbie pulling through the fun corner crack of Heave Ho, 5.10a.

Side note: the first pitch of the reg route actually does not go up the bolts...that used to be a variation (called ed boltz or something like that). the original first goes up the scruffy looking roof above the chimney. Definitely worthy!

Nice photos. They tell the story and catch some good moves.
