Getting ready for rock season
Kenway, Jess and I headed to BKB for a third time this week (a first in a long time). K and I lead the first four, and J top roped. We did 9, 10a, 10a/b, 10d (F). Then we went in the back and all got on TR. We did 12 (F), and 10d slab.
The first 9 was a poor choice for leading (bad position for clips and close to ground fall potential). The 10d was also strange, but the lime 10d was fun, under the arch, good sections of horizontal climbing, great holds, just nice. The 12 was super hard, very sloppy. the white 10d slab was kind of fun with two big mantels and hand to foot match.
This weekend we might head to the Gunks. Sweet.

Hey big guy, just FYI, looks like temps are going to be right around freezing or a little above. No problem for me as long as things are dry (not like we haven't climbed in those temps before).
Any thoughts on climbs?
I was thinking about a nice easy rollout - 6s and 7s, maybe in the Uberfall if it's dry enough (Bunny,Laurel,etc.). We could also hit up some easy stuff in the Nears, like Disneyland...
Yes, sounds good. Let's try and avoid climbs with finger cracks.
But that's the essence of trad!
No problemo, we'll check out what there is - don't think it will be too crowded.
