Climbing since April 2002
Got right into easy/moderate Trad. I've done most of the 3 star 5.6 to 5.8 multi pitch trad routes in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Then got started on aid - big mistake.
Couple attempts on Prodigal Sun, Partnered the Prow, soloed Moon Light.
Sitting here thinking about Yosemite, Zion, Moab, gear and climbing - but might as well get out there skiing in the great skiing that has finally hit us this year!
Got my start (addiction date/first fix) Thursday April 11th 2002 by mistake. I was looking for someone to do an ice ax/crampon climb up Mount Timpanogos and visited a Wasatch Mountain Club activity at “Pete’s Rock” in SLC – their season outdoor opener.
After joining the club and doing some intense spring ice ax/crampon activities through early June, I hooked up with the RC.com activity here in Utah. I meet AlpineRocket and climbed the West Slabs of Olympus – which hopelessly hooked me on a desire to do multi-pitch trad. I then got hooked up with a veteran Trad climber who was recovering from elbow surgery and was working his strength back up by doing the easier trads in BCC and LCC. We hit all the triple star climbs, Mule Hollow, Stuarts Ridge, Outside Corner, Pentipitch – AlpinerRocket took me up SchoolRoom. I did some of these several times, as I went back to lead all the pitches and to share the experience with my son.
I’m looking forward to hitting the gym this winter and improving my skill level – with a personal goal of leading 5.8 trad next season.
