So now it's June, what the fuck? May went by in a blink and with nary a word from your favorite somethings here at vertiCALI. Ah well, June gloom is here now, which must mean its summer, but wait! Its still tits cold (for LA, anyway) and overcast outside my window, this is good for climbing, but bad for Rachel, who needs a parka if the mercury settles any lower than 70. Anyways, lots of new shniz been goin' down, in life and climbing; the royal we got a new job at Adventure 16 in Tarzana, a radical outdoor outfitter with five stores down here in Socal, climbed a lot, was visited by the twin towers from the great white north, and finally redpointed 11! Phewf. . .
Here are some pictures from a recent jaunt to Echo with Rachel, Ben, and Marri. A satisfying, beery day.
Here we're getting set for my attempt on Intensity (11b). Most trite name for a climb ever, but still good. What follows is a sequence of my first (and best) attempt at leading the bouldery line.
Kickin it off
