Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Dome Rock and Kernville Slab. Jason at the top of Claustrophobia. A photo by slampoud. This past weekend my friend Jason, who now lives in the Bay area, and I were planning to spend some time plugging in gear. The original plan was to spend a day running up and down Tree Route on Dome Rock, then go down to Voodoo Dome and do Summer Sojourn, then further down to Kern Slab. The next morning we headed out to Dome Rock. We left for the...

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Friday, March 8, 2013. Fall and Winter recap. Dima on the approach to Purblind. Lest the reader (hi, all 3 of you! Think that there has been no climbing this past fall and winter, I would like to submit that I did do two trips. One was to Red Rocks in early November with Dima, then hooking up with the Minnesota crew, and the second was to JTree with part of the aforementioned MN crew. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Playing in the Southern and Eastern Sierra. I'd rather be there. A photo by slampoud. I've taken a couple cool trips recently where the highlight was Huckleberry, my 10 month old lab-boxer pup. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. The High Sierra: peaks, passes, trails - R. J. Secor. Indian Creek, a climbing guide - Bloom. Rock climbing Santa Barbara and Ventura. Rock climbing Tahquitz and Suicide Rocks. Southern California Sport Climbing.

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Wednesday, July 13, 2011. This year's Needles expedition - day 2, attack of the carabiner. Saturday morning found us sleeping in, so we decided to forgo the hike in to the Needles and opt for the lower elevation and shorter approach of Dome Rock, on which we had an objective, the Anti-jello crack. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. This year's Needles expedition - day 1. Me at the base of the second pitch of Spooky. Check out the crazy rock face! Mt Goode (in a day)...

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Monday, October 27, 2014. Climbing recap for most of 2014. Wow, I look back and realize I owe more than a year's worth of climbing updates. Yikes! So, last summer and fall I remember doing the following:. With Anil, me getting really bad nausea from wearing new, distorting sunglasses, and him getting a food allergy after we got down, but not before encountering a massive rattlesnake on the descent trail! Climbing on Dozier Dome (was it Holdless Horror.

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Wednesday, January 16, 2013. On the second day of our passage my SPOT satellite messenger malfunctioned. Popped off the back and took out the batteries. That did it. That's when the random stream of "Help" messages stopped. The next step that was being proposed was to scramble a C130 spotter plane. Once the USCG reached us, the situation was put to sleep quickly and in an orderly fashion. So, some distilled thoughts:. I think a chunk of the serenity praye...

Little did I know...: One more Red Rock
http://ldik.blogspot.com/2015/04/one-more-red-rock.html
Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Monday, April 13, 2015. One more Red Rock. Then we moved to my old friend, Pauligk Pillar. There I had to over-protect the first few moves, resulting in a mid-route belay stop, and Jason led the second portion of the pitch. We weren't feeling the second pitch, AGAIN, so we hiked out to make the 8pm exit time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My other passion is sailing. Logs from Folkboat 1244, S/V Koan. One more Red Rock.

Little did I know. Steep learning curves are fun! Tuesday, October 4, 2011. We went, we saw, we didnt climb. That's Bear Creek Spire on the upper right. A photo by slampoud. Ben and I decided we wanted to attempt Bear Creek Spire. We both have the High Sierra Climbing supertopo, and we both looked at it and decided that we liked the idea of a destination that had two alternatives from which to choose: the 5.8 North Arete, and the low 5th class Northeast Ridge. The next morning we got a leisurely start, b...
