Drove 2.5 hours south to hang out with my friends and start setting problems on their new home wall that Nathan has spent 2.5 making for them. This wall is rucking rad! Nathan blew out the ceiling and put in a massive support beam so there wouldn't be any floor joists in the way. It's a 2+ car garage with 10ft (could be a bit taller than that) ceilings. their 55degree wall has 15ft of climbing surface or so, and it's tall enough for a proper Moon board and campus board. We figure we put up at maybe 700 holds yesterday and the place still looks empty. Nathan and I estimated that they will need a minimum of 1500 holds with at least 2000 holds for reasonable density. I only took one photo and tossed it up on instagram. Unfortunately, for good photo framing I had to cut off the top of he wall. https://instagram.com/...rebeccalewisclimbingThat IS a rad training wall. Wow is all I have to say. :)
We keep telling Nathan he has to do a write up on his rad wall building skillz. Not sure where it would all get posted, but irreguardless I need to give him a bit of time before I start spamming the internet with more photos.

For those peeps who've been to Xzzz...
Yesterday we went to Mecca, the crag called the Ark. A cute girl raved to Banz about it, and she was cute enough that he thought it was worth considering, despite the heinous hike.
The hike was... interesting. Imagine the hike to FCR, but subtract any flat-ground hiking, make the uphill section of it 10 times as long, and all in the sun. Then imagine that there is no trail, and there isn't SUPPOSED to be a trail. You are walking through a meadow of chest-high grasses, with things like "large dead tree" and "cow pond" as identifiers. And a promise that there might be cairns at the turns. (we found a few... but not enough)
Then you enter the tree line. And continue the uphill slog for 30 more minutes. Maybe 45. Still with no trail (here, we were wrong. There actually WAS a trail through the treed section, but we didn't find it on the way up, because we didn't enter the treed section of the hill in the right spot... there are only several thousand dead trees in the canyon now, because of the Mountain Pine beetle, so we didn't find the correct "large dead tree")
Then you get to the rock face... approximately. And climb through the boulder field for 30 more minutes, checking all the likely-looking corridors.
And then you finally arrive!
Well, you know how the Xzzz guidebook has the tendency to rave randomly about the "buttery sickness" of the perfect limestone, and tell you that this is the "perfect shinto dope" and "DO THIS ROUTE"?
In this case, it was all true. I am never doing that hike again, but heinous as it was, it was SOOOO worth it. Even Banz who is a total whiny baby about hiking, said it was worth it for him.
100 ft tall slightly overhanging yellow limestone block with perfect NOT-SHARP pockets (and a few drilled monos) and every route being spectacular. I am not joking. Continuous-yet-varied, going all the way to the very top of the cliff, cool movement, gorgeous setting, shade all day, perfect breeze. Name your perfect crag and perfect route features, and this place had it.
David, who after two climbing days in Ten Sleep, and getting the tour of the best crags (we took him to World Domination, Slavery, Supererratic, and FCR) was saying that well, yeah, Ten Sleep is nice enough, and he is glad he has the chance to check it out, but if he weren't in the US already for work, it wouldn't make sense to come from Europe to climb THIS limestone... changed his mind after climbing at this crag.
I was supposed to be having a "rest day" (but who are we kidding here, when I left the camp with shoes and harness in my pack, just to "go hiking and check out this place" with Banz and David-the-Spaniard... everyone knew I was deluding myself). So I climbed. And it was awesome. Even if I only did 4 routes. The guys onsighted the crag, so we are never going back there again, really... unless I con someone into going there again sometime in the future, once the pain of that hike subsides.
On the way down, after finding the trail through the treed section, and practically running down the hill, it took us 40 minutes. I was so glad that we had leftovers to heat up for dinner, because I wouldn't have been able to stay upright long enough to do anything more than that.
Today everything hurts. And I am taking a real rest day. I will lounge in a hammock at the campsite while boys climb. I might even make dinner...

So you went to an amazing crag with no one else around... and you wouldn't go back? That's nutz. You don't get to complain about crowds.

Hahahaha! Of course not.

Sooo, since I'm newly single and just psyched on teh climb... anyone interested in some sort of Southwest meetup this winter? Might just pack myself into the Tacoma and live out there for a couple months, especially if this new freelance writing gig keeps producing.
I was just looking at Lime Kiln Canyon (UT/AZ/NV borderlands), and that place looks amazing!

Well, I'll have the time, but it may be hard to convince teh champ to go rock scaling during winter.
I think we would both like to do the Ice World Cup again too, but costs may not allow it.

I will be pinging you for beta in the future, I'm planning on Font, then Ceuse after worlds next year which are in Paris.
For Font, just go to bleau.info and try to find your way around. I will basically be going for a couple hours to whatever the closest boulders are to the town/chateau.
Ceuse I should have actual beta for.

Heading up to the Bare Carg this weekend with the Mangler - CI, you should come out. Also got my tickets booked for a week in Ceuse two months from nau. Dang. Never been to the Bare. I'm locked down this weekend, probably get a day, but I was gone 3 last weekend.
Bare Carg was grate.
Drove up on Friday and climbed at the Dike Wall. Took a couple goes at Secret Agent Man, that thing is stout for the grade. Figured out all the beta, but would need another try or two to get it. Also would help if the sort-of rest at the last bolt wasn't seeping. At the end of the day, took a run on Antibro, but missed a foot and fucked up the last move. Stupid.
Got Penerator at the Bear Crag in 4 tries -- good rowt, long and varied. The third try (first attempt on Sunday) I got through the crux, then pumped off pulling the last 5.10 moves over the roof. Next try I found a better rest before the last 15 feet and got it. Did a couple new rowtz Big Tony was putting up, the Mangler and I were unsuccessful in lobbying him to move the bolts around on the 11c so that they were in more logical positions.
Also put in a couple attempts on Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which the Mangler was working. Crazy steep on massive jugs (kind of like Super Best Fiernds at the Red) until all of a sudden the jugs die out and you have to do a big lockoff on a slighly sloped 3/4-1 pad edge on the "vertical" (only 5-10 degrees overhung) section.
Spent the hole weekend wondering where the forecasted t-storms were, but enjoying the clouds.
