Did she try going to the slopy pinch underneath the hold that we use, resetting her foot or feet and then bumping to the edge that we use? I feel like it might be better for her because she would be cutting the big move into 2 smaller ones. Just a thought...<br />sweatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-49649401592497661402009-10-20T11:32:25.819-05:002009-10-20T11:32:25.819-05:00Yeah, the potential is insane for the west bluff i...Yeah, the potential is insane for the west bluff isn't it?!?!? that's not even mentioning the east bluff!!

I think I'll just stick to the talus fields. Also my friend Eggnuts, I did not say that there was un unlimited number of climbs that I would personally care for, just that there is an unlimited number of climbs. lol<br />sweatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-88543151902501145742009-10-20T10:40:49.581-05:002009-10-20T10:40:49.581-05:00Is this the same 'sweaty' who not 3 weeks ...Is this the same 'sweaty' who not 3 weeks ago told me how he was so unpsyched on Devil's Lake climbing???

Perhaps it's just the name of the game with that thing. I really want to go see that roof traverse thing up close next time. <br /><br />Also when were were there me and Kristen hiked all the way from south to north shore and back (first time I've actually done that) but it is unbelievable how much rock that is out there. I can not believe people said that place was 'climbed out' because there seems to be unlimited potential. <br /><br />sweatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-73288524371438413362009-10-20T10:12:51.024-05:002009-10-20T10:12:51.024-05:00Sorry, there are holds the whole way our RIGHT!

I mean, until Nic had chalked the holds after the rail it really seemed improbable. The obvious feature is that big rail and there are holds the whole way out left. <br /><br />Needless to say I'm excited to do it both ways and actually think that not doing it traversing off right at least once is a bit of a copout. The moves are not gimmies(Both nic and todd fell off multiple times AFTER sticking the rail) and it has huge historical value to me since EZ did it. <br /><br />I only think it's proper to do it both ways, and if you're gonna go up then you might as well do it with the traverse, right??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259537267716268828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465688298202864084.post-62723244131734190712009-10-20T09:46:57.156-05:002009-10-20T09:46:57.156-05:00sounds like a fun day overall.

I was kind of nervous since the landing is on a down slant and I only had 2 and a half pads and Kristen spotting me. I'd like to try it with more pads. To be honest I'd like to try it and just go up. I think the traverse off thing seems silly.<br />sweatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
