telemarker Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Climb: Choss Coulee-Corner Pocket, Air Guitar, Crackmaster, Mr. Clean Date of Climb: 12/27/2004 Trip Report: Wow! That's about all that can be said for today's outing. My friend Kyle Flick both had the day off to crag at Frenchman's. Bluebird, warm and vacant save for us. We guessed it to be around 60 to 65 F. We checked his thermometer and the temp indicated it was 77 degrees today. Good God! Helluva day. Due to the dry and warm "winter" thus far, we've been able to climg there every weekend for the past two months. Some shots of a previous day of Kyle on Tangled Up In Blue.

Dru Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Some wacky tilts on those camera angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Regardless of tilt, those are some great action shots. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCash Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Nice shots of TUIB. Do you have any of the other 4 you climbed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemarker Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 I think camera tilt is Dru's personal crusade, although it's nice to know people view climbing photos with a critical eye. Constructive criticism.... I don't have shots of the other routes because it was just two of us and I have all the ass shots I want at this point. My impressions tho: Air Guitar is, well, Air Guitar; Corner Pockets is a sweet, 100 foot, pillar topout climb with great stemming and clean jams high up; Crackmaster is fun, with tiny wires your pro for the top; Mr. Clean, eases off considerably 3/4 of the way up (kind of like Mr. Clean on Lower Castle, hmmm...)

catbirdseat Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Camera tilt doesn't matter at Vantage where every one knows that virtually all the climbs are dead vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Camera tilt is like bad plastic surgery: everyone knows its fake but it still looks dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
