wayne Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Trip: Trout Creek - Date: 4/9/2011 Trip Report: [video:youtube] Spent 3 great days with Kelly( tanstaafl), and the gang climbing the splitter cracks at Trout Creek. I am always stoked to climb there plenty of great routes in the 5.10-5.11 range and they are all 4 stars. Ran into the legendary Yosemite climber mark Hudon as well. Temps are starting to get into season there. We had 1 cold day. No bugs or fishermen yet. More on my blog below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crack Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ran into Wayne and his crew during my first visit there -feeling fortunate I had a ropegun, awesome climbing! Day One: Fuck tape, that's for pussies -I NEVER tape man! Day Two: ...so around the thumb and then what..? Day Three: Anyone for some Solar Slab?!

wayne Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I can echo both of those sentiments now as well. I lasted 1 route before I taped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Stellar trip; thanks Wayne. Sure made the rock I climbed in Leavenworth this weekend seem low angle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimsey Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I climbed "Gold Rush" about 1 week after the FA. If you think the rock is rough now, you should have seen it then. Lined with razor crystals. Have not been on it since 2005 but I bet it is buttery now in comparison. I found most of the thin hands easier without tape, but then again you only get a couple of good efforts before you are done for the day. O'course that was true with tape too. "Stout Creek!"
