It's a weird wrench.

Own it brah. 

Won't be the first time someone called me a weirdo (or the last).

[Brad Young]

How can he “own it” when you call him, asking if he’s got it before he even gets home!?

I thought he said "You are what you is. You ain't what you're not".

Posted before, but looking at some pics and enjoyed capturing this so reposting...



I recall snapping a pic of him several seasons prior while hanging at the Monolith. I wonder if I can find that shot too. hrm....

Heres a random photo dump from Juniper Canyon yesterday, just some nice pictures IMO. Ryan took some photos of Beto and I climbing Rocky Rhodes to Helios Finish on the Colossus.



Beto following P2




Here he is after turning the corner, taken from P2 anchors.




Beto leading P3




Probably around the same point as the last photo

That looks dangerous, young man. You come down from there.

[NOAL]

Nice photos.  Is that variation new?

[Marco]

That looks dangerous.

Climbing is an inherently dangerous activity... at least thats what all my gear tells me.

Nice photos.  Is that variation new?

Thanks! It's a little over a year old.

Wow what a rad looking route! On the Pink Giant I suspect. I bet its got good rock is brushed and well protected. Probably harder than 5.7 but under 5.10a, ideal range for any climber to enjoy.
Perhaps it will get a repeat in the next 5 years. Other than Brad of course because it is under 5.10

Got a couple shots of Noal on the same route around the last 5.8/5.9 move before it eases into low angle slab. I got a bit worried about how Noal would like the route when he mentioned on the approach he didn't think it was worth bolting 30 ft of climbing that just goes into low angle slab. Luckily I think this route just exceeded the 30ft minimum of real climbing.




Sunday Marco and I climbed Son of Dawn Wall and I was really impressed with Marco's demonstration of confidence and serenity as he lead the p5 chimney.

 

[NOAL]

You must of been holding the stick clip.

Here's a couple of Ryan on Marco and Ryan's new route.

Luckily I think this route just exceeded the 30ft minimum of real climbing.

Yes, it did.  It's a nice route.  Good rock, the difficulty increases the closer you get to the crux, and the crux is distinct.
