Smith this weekend (10/6-7)

[hollyclimber]

I am thinking of heading to Smith this weekend. I could use a partner, and I am also willing to give a ride to anyone who wants to share some gas money.

I'll plan on making sure I still know how to climb at Smith by checking out some of my favorite climbs in the 5.10-5.11 range, and possibly hop on some 5.12. I won't be doing anything in the gullies and probably won't head to the backside because I'll have my dog with me.

Email me at hollyclimber@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Hey holly,

I'm headed to Smith too. I'm in Portland though and am probably going with several other people and meeting yet more down there. Are you a trad leader or more of a sport climber? I was hoping to hit the lower gorge at least one of the days.

Off the subject, but how was Uncle Ben's. Did ya get on it?

Hey dudes-

Thanks for the responses, I am all hooked up with a partner now for this weekend. Hope I see some of you cc.com people down there. If you see me with my big dopey black white and tan "puppy", say hi.

U Wall was ok. My partner wasn't sure about just launching into our first multi-day aid wall, so we just climbed 2 pitches. That was fun, and I learned some stuff. I managed to do my first Grade 6 in the Valley, so now U Wall seems so short and do-able. I wish it was still the right weather for getting on it. I thought about going up there this weekend, but it is supposed to rain. So, I might have to save it for the spring.
