After a successful Angel's Crest send, incredible Shabbat with new friends, beautiful day multi-pitch and single pitch trad cragging, and intense day of bouldering, today was a much needed rest day. We spent it catching up on email, getting clean and grocery shopping. In addition, we are gearing up to climb the Grand Wall tomorrow. We will be climbing directly up the middle of the Chief (10 pitches) and hopefully all the way to the top (an additional 3 pitches up the Upper Black Dyke). In total it will be 13 pitches of mostly 5.10 and 5.11 climbing. We'll be getting up bright and early tomorrow and starting around 6am!
Early in the morning below the first pitch of Angel's Crest.
The Acrophobes pitch on Angel's Crest: climb up easy slab, find hidden bolts, rappel off the back, walk, scramble, descend a fixed rope. Start climbing again. Can you find Ellen here?
Done! 8 hours and 41 minutes of climbing. ~11 hours from car to car!
Patrick battling an off-width. Hardest 5.10 ever.
Tomorrow's big adventure!
