Rumney Again...


Krissy on Waimea (5.10d)

Ben on Butt Bongo Fiesta (5.13a)

We just returned from our second weekend in a row in Rumney. After five days there in the last week or so we are finally starting to feel some sport climbing fitness returning.

Krissy was able to on-sight some 5.9's, and 5.10a's and also did her 11a project from last weekend at the Meadows Wall. Then she red-pointed White Rhino 5.11c really fast. After this she began working a very steep 5.12b and was able to do all the moves and good links right away - the send is going to be soon I think.

I was able to red-point Butt Bongo Fiesta (5.13a) and then tried to on-sight Big Kahuna (5.13a), and fell on the last move....grrr! After this I was working a route called Boogieman (5.13c) and fell at the last move...no send this trip. Next time I think.

We also ran into Sebastian Lazure from Quebec and watched him make an impressive red point of Parallel Universe (5.14a). He had it wired!
