| no partners | | Had a day off from school because of Veteran's Day--and used it to play in the McDowell's. I got my first trad and sport leads in!! woohoo!
Loved the very short approach--(dang it, I'm sounding more and more like a climber instead of a hiker!)
Apparently there are upper and lower crags to the Morrell's Parking Lot Area. Each of them on opposite sides of this boulder area---also different from the Morrell's Parking Lot Rock. (see pic)
This is actually the North side of Morrell's Parking Area. There appear to be 7 routes on this side of the rock/boulder formation we did 6 of them before running out of time. To the best of my knowledge these routes are not named.
from left to right as you look at the rock
1. Unknown (guessing 5.5 or 5.6)
2. 5.8 (up the subtle arete)
3. 5.7 (starts in the dish)
4. 5.3 (uses a corner)
5. 5.6 (just over to the right from the corner)
6. 5.9 (left of the thin crack)
7. 5.9 (uses the thin crack)
Always wondered how I would know when it was time for new climbing shoes. They seemed to be loosing their grip on my last trip and this time they literally fell apart......toes out......apparently that is the sign  |
