I'm listening to a guru's advice and taking a 5 day hiatus from climbing. I'm afraid I might forget how to climb! Instead of spending my days slowly going insane and watching climbing porn, I got out and bolted new routes. I took a slightly different approach to Castle Greyskull and found another whole area!! I can't swing a dead cat without finding stuff to develop.
Picture evidence:
Short, good looking cracks
I have never put up a new route ground up.I think this is a good opportunity.
My girlfriend is not siked.
Her first question was, "Do you think the cracks will explode?"
I bolted two face climbs. If you look carefully, you can see my rope.I haven't named this area yet. The fire in Santa Barbara is weighing on my mind. Especially, the work the firefighters are doing. I was thinking about naming it as tribute to them. One possibility is "First Responder Area." A possible route name could be "First on the scene, First in our hearts."
Please post suggestions to comments.
