Day 3:
We warm up on a 5.8 that feels like a 5.9.
Second warm up - there’s an easy slab to my right and a 5.9 to the left.
It starts to pour rain and the slab gets wet. There’s people on the nine.
To the left of the nine is a 5.11a and they get harder from there. I figure on taking a shot at the easy 11 for my second route of the day. Al the routes but the slab are massively overhanging and stay dry in the downpour that last for maybe 2 hours yet has no real impact on our climbing.
About half way up the 75 foot route, I here some giggling from the girls below and I think I hear Ieva say to Jen: “Should I tell him….?”
Then I here: “Uh, Dave? You’re not on the route you think you’re on.”
“Hmmm. OK. How hard is what I’m on?”
More giggling. “5.11c”
I drop my head to my chest. “Swell.” With no plans to leave gear behind I just keep making it work. The route, Centerfire, is just wonderful!

The Red is insane! Really, really cool climbing! The bulk of it is 10’s 11’s and lots of 12’s so it’s pretty stiff unless you’re a rockstar but just really beautiful and tons and tons of stone! If ya ever get the chance

Will post some pictures when we see what we have.

A couple photos:

These first shots are on Centerfire - 5.11c

Jen (of course) She's gotten really strong this year.

And these last two are on Seak The Truth 5.11d



Can't wait to go back!
