| So, what is required for hard sending: harness, shoes, rope, knee pads, duct tape, pre-spray, finger tape, liquid chalk, chalk, stick-clip, gri-gri, gloves, working draw, and the list goes on... |
 |
| Our flat tire that we encountered while trying to run from the heat of Rifle, CO. |
 |
| Unloading the entire care to access the dummy tire... |
 |
| The view of Rifle Gap Reservoir. |
 |
| Cleaning the battle wounds and knee pad glue off after a rough day in Rifle (3 one-hangs of my project). |
 |
| Forest fires near our current home of Maple Canyon, UT. We drove back here to escape the heat in Rifle and also so Krissy could attempt to finish off her project: Sprout 5.13a. |
 |
| Hank hanging out at the Pipe Dream Cave. |
 |
| Ben lowering off Eulogy (5.14a/b) after sending. It took about 3 days of work. The actual red-point took about 40-45 minutes!!! Over 100 feet of near horizontal climbing! |
 |
| Blake sending Deliverance (5.12c). |
 |
| A rattle snake that is missing its rattle - we think.... |
 |
| Another view of the forest fires. |
 |
| Blake working on Millenium (5.14a). |
 |
| Another view of Millenium and the Pipe Dream Cave. |
Wow, you guys sure are fit! Bouldering hard and then also sport climbing hard. Impressive - keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThe snake is a Bull Snake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bull_snake4.jpg
It is not a rattlesnake. It mimics rattlesnakes for certain advantages (or disadvantages when it is killed by humans by mistake).
Ah! This makes more sense...no one we talked to seemed to know what it was for sure. Thanks Dave.
