Mellow Weekend

Had a nice mellow weekend, checked out a new zone at the Narrows that should yield some fun new routes on great rock. I thought the pitches would be long, but the upper half of the formation is hollow, too bad. Still, these 50′ routes will be a lot of fun and nice addition to the place. Stay tuned for a topo once it’s all said and done.

Also got out to Thompson Creek, had the place to ourselves except for one other party that came and went pretty quickly. The skies flirted with rain all afternoon, but we enjoyed nice temps and got some good climbing in. And for me it was yet another brutal reminder of how long the ski season was, and how much climbing is kicking my ass right now. At least it can only get better, right?

The access situation at Thompson Creek remains the same for now, so please continue to respect the voluntary measures that are in place limiting climber “impact”. Hopefully in the not to distant future the local climbing community can enjoy unrestricted access to this excellent local resource.
