climb on… Walk around
The lovely Leslie and I take a break from climbing on a rainy day and drag photog Zak on a hike around Crescent Falls.
Random Picture of the Day
Leslie working her way up a 5.7 on Abraham Slabs in Nordegg. We did a lot of slab climbing this summer and sort of got into a certain way of doing things. Next summer we’ll have to make an effort to branch out if only so I can learn to fall on real rock : )
Rip and Grip 2
Rip and Grip November is over and I placed 5th in the intermediate again. Actaully I tied for 4th but Nemesis Dan Racette beat me in R & G October so he’s ahead…

I seem to have a block for problem 17 but I’ll try it again on Wednesday and I bet I get it. Totally pumped and I hated the hold that kept knocking me off.
L on the other hand seems to be on a role and is just rippin’ and grippin’. Zak and I better watch out or we will find ourselves with the possibility of looking old and boring. I beat Peggy P’s effort on one route (I think it was 14) but man is she graceful… she made it look much easier than I ever could. I wanged away at 18 for a while but I couldn’t get past the 3rd move. Zak’s.
If you’ve no idea what this is all about you can check out last year’s comps here. Look close and you’ll see L and maybe even Zak’s toque.
Grrrrrrr… ip?
