Welcome to the Creek!

After spending three nights and two quality days in Indian Creek, we find ourselves evicted by some snow and the increasingly evident need for showers. While still recovering from messing up my wrist, I have been on full blown belay duty for the past couple of days.

Matt is quickly flying through the easier routes here (keep in mind that no climb at the Creek is easy). Spending a day at the Original Meat Wall and the Way Rambo Wall has produced six onsights and one effort that ended four feet short of another. Basically, the climbing is going very well.

Although I would like to sit around eating all day, the prospect of climbing in Yosemite has spurred a strong training stint. Our goal is to be in peak shape before we head back to California -so we can climbing some of the coolest routes in the world.

Below are some pictures of Indian Creek.




The Creek will wear you out

  4. Dudes, for real, where is the tick list? I can't live vicariousl through you if I don't know what your climbing?

    P.S. You guys are awesome.

    But now that I am thinking more about it, I will need every route described in detail. Seriously. Or I am going to be so pissed, I won't know how to handle it. For real.

    Love mike.
