To wrap up this series of ego boosts for T-Boz here is a sequence of photos of him climbing the left side of the Tombstone (not sure if it has a name or not). Regrettably he botched his flash attempt due to uncontrollable laughter, but sent in good form on his 2nd attempt.
While not all that difficult on the V-scale (V2ish?, maybe easier), this problem requires one to have a full trust in their Devil’s Lake climbing skills. You have to use small feet and trust an insecure jam in the slick quartzite as you pass the point of no return. The point of no return being that moment on any tall problem were continuing up is going to be easier, and more desirable, than finding a way to go down. Check out the below gallery for the full sequence.
Hopefully you enjoyed these past few installments as much as I enjoyed sharing in the moments depicted. It continues to amaze how much enjoyment I can get out of climbing sessions even when I am physically unable to participate.
