Thinking of the dates for the next climb. Sunday 22 and Monday 23 of September. I should arrive Saturday afternoon and be there early Sunday morning setting up our NEW CLIMB LINE! photo attached. Yeeehaaaa!

Again, all are welcome to join us.

In preparation for the next climb I put together a video about swapping that 500' base anchor over to a double canopy anchor and also my preference for connection climbing lines.



Converting a base anchor to a canopy anchor and double ascent lines.

I'll arrive Saturday afternoon and start setting things up. Looking forward to a giant traverse and maybe we can set up the elevator from the reiteration.
If anyone else is interested, send me a PM and I'll get you the details.

Going to be a wet and windy day on Sunday. Why not?

 

[Marden]

Hope to see you on the next trip out.
Have fun and stay dry !

I will be sure to bring my slicker

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

Especially when there's 600 feet of climbing line
there ready to go.
It rained a little today but I didn't get nearly as wet as I do when I'm sweating in the Georgia heat.
That grove is such a pretty place!!

So far just a light rain no wind and the tree goes up into a cloud.

Pretty awesome for my first old growth climb. Little weather and some wifely time constraints cut the day a little short. Here's some photos from my iPhone.

Thanks Chris and Jon! It was great as always even with the rain. I'm back to the cabin sitting by the fire, got my gear all spread out to dry, fan blowing on the 600' of rope hoping to reduce the weight by 10#
Yep, we will be back and climb the others!

Cheers

I'll try to post what video I have as well when I get the time.

Hey Jon,
I was looking for the cool pack you had but could not find it at Wesspur where I think you said you bought it.
