Climbing outside
February 19th, 2007 by Matt
This past Friday I got to climbing outside with my brother in law Mike. I don’t normally climb outside I mostly do gym climbing at a place called Mission Cliffs and this past weekend I went outside. My brother in law has been climbing for 20 years and he took me climbing in Kernvill. We climbed 3 pitches where a pitch is single length of rope. Mike lead and I followed and I had FUN.
The second pitch had a 30 - 40 foot chimney that took me a while to figure out how to get into. After I finally got my body into the chimney I was able to make progress and crawl my way to the top. I love chimneys I am not exactly sure why, they are fun and you get to use your entire body not just your hands and legs to get your self to the top. When I got to the top I was able to climb out and finish the pitch.
After that we finished the 3rd pich which was a inch wide crack that took me to the top of the third pitch. Then we walked off the mountain and we were done.
I had a GREAT time and can’t wait too go again
Funny the things you find on the web…
I was looking for stuff about how Technorati can help me push more traffic to my blog, got to your site and then found this article about climbing - which is what my whole blog is about! Great what a “web” can do…
Hmm, so how do I make more use of Technorati?
