D-town Sunday

[jshamster]

any slabmasters lookin' to get on some sunny rock this sunday? i don't have anything in particular in mind. just wantin' to get out for some slap & pray fun. spring mtn. is also an option, but could be hot.

saturday is not an option for me because it's USA vs. ENGLAND in the World Cup.

 

PM works for me

 

cheers

Oh man I think Jimbo just might want to climb that one pretty bad, I know I do after we got rained off last year!

[rocketparrotlet]

I would love to! I've been trying to get a partner for Darrington all night. PM'ed

I too am hoping for Dtown this weekend. I'd like to climb 6 or 10 pitches and do some exploring. Send me a PM.

hopefully it'll be dry tomorrow. gonna do some moderate multipitches with a gym rat friend.

[mattp]

It is raining tonight but some of the routes there dry out very fast and I've actually climbed the first couple pitches of The Kone during rainfall and other routes when seeping. Sometimes the harder routes are easier than some of the easier ones when wet. Silent Running dries out quickly.

[keenwesh]

so your saying that the friction improves in the rain?????

[mattp]

No, but I've been surprised to find that 5.9 or 5.10 friction sometimes seems little or no harder when wet and the 5.11 edge climbing on Jacob's Ladder is not undoable when wet either, whereas some of the 5.7 or 5.8 pitches on the Blueberry Route (among others) become completely terrifying when wet.
