It only took me 10 years, but I finally climbed at Hueco Tanks

Road Trips

I originally came up with the idea of going to Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park for a week of climbing long trad routes earlier this year during one of my frequent injury breaks from hard climbing. What I forgot to take into account was that Mrs. Narc and I hadn’t really climbed that many long trad routes so we weren’t even sure how much we even liked that kind of climbing in the first place.

Spring Break ‘09 Pt. 2: Rocktown Pt. 1

08. Apr, 2009 5 Comments

If you ask most people to identify one classic problem in Rocktown, GA, The Orb would probably be it. One of the first problems you come across on the approach to the boulders, The Orb climbs out the underbelly of a very unique looking boulder using a series of cool holds. It also happens to hold the very attainable grade of V8. Needless to say, it didn’t take very long for our crew (minus yours truly) to begin throwing down attempts shortly after we arrived at the boulders.

With the weather not cooperating during my trip to Kentucky, we had no other option but to seek out alternative activities to occupy our time.

2nd Ascent Of Ambrosia By Alex Honnold

Alex Honnold has nabbed the 2nd ascent of Kevin Jorgeson’s Buttermilks uber-highball Ambrosia. Honnold figured out a slightly easier sequence for the 45+ foot tall line on the Grandpa Peabody boulder which he felt was in the V11 range. In recent weeks Honnold has also done several other Buttermilks classics including The Mandala (V12) and Evilution Direct (V11). Check out the Bishop Bouldering Blog for more. Thanks to Christopher for the tip!
