Lin and I headed to Tuolumne over Sep 19-21.  On Friday we climbed OZ, a 3 pitch 5.10d.  The third pitch is supposedly the best 5.10 crack in TM, and I’d have to agree.  Afterwards we got totally hosed trying to TR “Galen’s Crack”, a 5.10c OW next to the road.  This thing is pretty brutal. More »

I showed up ready to Wreck to find Dan shaking his head and Nate and Charles drinking PBR’s and discussing shots.  Jason showed up then left to go for a run, Dan went to the gym, and I started the first Gym Bowie.  As for the rest of you, I don’t want to hear the lame excuses.   More »

The Michael Strassman Memorial Route climbs the South Face of Lone Pine Peak following an impressive right leaning dike, dubbed the Super Dike. This prominent feature rips across the otherwise blank wall for nearly 500 feet, offering up some incredible climbing along the way. The first ascent was accomplished on September 30, 2008 by Scotty Nelson, Charles Ince and Nate Ricklin. More »

Its kinda like a sick and twisted version of musical chairs, except the music does not stop, and nobody fucking wins until everyone is done. Repeat. Repeat three times. More »
