Ascensiones en Valley Of The Rogue

Struggled on TR. Skipped the low crux of the route and climbed the much easier upper half, which was quite fun.

TR. Couldn't get past ringlocks and a crack too narrow for my toes.

Damn that was fun. Mother Nature crafted some wonderful handholds up the underside of this cave. The guide book describes the route as "contrived until you try it" and I'd agree. It felt strangely natural to stick to the steepest line. Fun knee bar! Tightly bolted -- I'll have to try this again on lead!

This was much more fun than I thought it'd be. Yay heel hooks!

Very fun climb were the crux is right at the end.

Great moves. Watch out for the loose hold near the first bolt.

(Second part of link up with White Slab Crack). Huge holds, fun moves. 3rd bolt is harder to clip if you're short, but there's a spot for a 0.5 C4 between bolts 2 and 3.

Link up. Clipped first 2 bolts of Captain Horatio Horn Blower, traversed right and finished on Aqua Man starting from the 2nd bolt. Good fun. Also led to a more interesting (and sustained) route.

Fun final move... Felt easy for 5.10a

Solo.

For the camera

with Laura. A couple of bolt placements were a bit awkward. Twice I placed gear only to find a bolt later. I personally thought the rock quality was least conducive to gear at the only spot where bolts are lacking! Still, there were a few fun moves and interesting pockets on the route.

TR'ed a (5/8/5.9) line mixing Beyond the Siskiyou Sky and this route. Some fun cracks and bulges to overcome.

Great fun! Watch for loose stuff below the crack.

Cool!
