We bailed. It was a great experience, and had my sugar not dropped to a groggy low, I would have laughed more. This route is awesome, though, and i'll be back to see if i can pass to the top! I'm sure it will be excellent and the scenery is very good.

Blake placing a #1 DMM on spring thaw. This route was a lot of fun and, for me, felt a lot harder than the grade. We topped out in he dark sans headlamps, sorted gear, and walked happily to the parking lot - gear clanging away as Blake described what happened in the Blair Witch Project. Bugger.

"big" holds but slightly sharp. A fun problem to end a great day in the Glen.

actually not in the glen, of course! But in fort erie. An interesting layback!

A shot of Rebecca pushing the first couple moves of an unknown (to me) problem in the glen. The weather was crappy enough for us to be the only ones bouldering down there. Thanks for looking.

I took a 15 footer on this bomber piece. I was thinking about tying off the burner, but was starting to pump out. The webbing on my next piece (the lamp) blew..... My god i'm bored.

I was very bored one day and started fondling some cams. They looked pleasing in my hand like that. Bring this to a climber girlfriend/boyfriend, it's WAY better than roses!!

Blake in the Glen ice bouldering. The ice was only ~30ft high but went sideways for a hundred yards!

Trying out some new shoes on Pipeline Drytool Route. For some reason, and I think i know it, I just climb better in rock shoes on here. I claim that it's because I get better purchase on the sloping feet compared to monopoints.

A look down after getting bashed in the face and ear by a couple pieces of ice.

I was the first up the route and thought i'd slow the ice down from hitting the ground too fast.
