Water Bouldering

Besides wandering mountains one of my passions is water. It is pure pleasure to combine the two. Often we sail into areas that allow for good hiking & bouldering right from the deck our 30' sailboat. Such was the case in these two pics by Catherine where I've climbed a short 'open-book' crack to dive off the nearby ledge. Repeat this technique over and over for a great day of bouldering and diving. The rocks are Pallisades area, Colville Indian Reservation, southern toe of the Kettle River Range; water is Columbia River, Lake Roosevelt, NE Washington State.

Nice!

No need for expensive pads when you've got deep water!

Re: Nice!

Yeah, I love this. Try to go there each year for my birthday and spend a few days climbing and diving.

Re: Gave you a 10

I agree. I'll tell Catherine she got a "10" for the image and I'll work on my technique. I love this kind of practice...
