Hey all,
Was wondering if anybody in the good ol' midwest had a great summer on the rock? any great climbs you accomplished this year. Anybody preparing, ie getting in shape, for and endeavors for next year? Or this winter?
I led my first 5.10 at Barn Bluff this year, and got a lot of outdoor climbing in. I know 5.10 isnt a grade to be in awe of but Im happy to see my climbing keep improving. Im currently preparing myself for next june. Im taking off a couple weeks and heading out to the WA cascades and take my mom out again. Her goal is Mt St Helens, she has turned back twice, once due to lack of fitness and the other for conditions. and than following that up with Mt Adams, and if all goes well head to Idaho on the way home, depending on time, and take a shot at Borah Peak.
Im trying to get us "midwest folks" a bit more active on SP and show the climbing community us "lowlanders" have some fun too
I would be glad to hear everybody's stories
