We had our second rest day today - caught up on some card games and hanging out that obviously needed to get done. It's a really hard life here, as I'm sure you can tell. We did less today than even our last rest day. The only big thing I (Nyssa) did today was that early this afternoon I took a shower in my new climbing shoes that have been killing my feet and since then I've been wearing them around to stretch them out. I actually just took them off because my feet are wet, shriveled and pretty cold now that it's night here. But hopefully it did the job and I will be able to climb in them from now on without wanting to cry every time I put weight on a foot...
Since the last post of our climb of Estrellita we've just been cragging mostly. We did an awesome two pitch climb called Mecasuit (5.10a, 5.11a) that I really enjoyed. I'm hoping to be able to lead 5.11a by the time we leave and I think if it's like the one in Mecasuit I'll be all set. The first pitch had a cool roof in it and the second pitch was all small crimper holds with decent feet - totally my style. Tomorrow we are set to do a 15 pitch, 1500 ft climb called Yankee Clipper. We're pretty excited to get up really high again! Hopefully we'll get some good pictures from it too. Until then here are a couple of pictures that I took of Rich while we were cragging. Enjoy!
You poor things. Too much sunshine? I'm sure you heard it was -34˚ here this week?
ReplyDeleteMatt and I are getting all set to move. Hope y'all are having fun!
