Climbing Extravaganza

[kjcreigh]

Hey all, I wanted to try a test run of my pictures from my recent trip down to Slade, KY for some pretty intense rock climbing. Here's some pictures (hopefully they work) and if you have any questions or what not, shout out! Thanks for looking.

This was our first climb, kinda scary clipping the third bolt hanging over the chimney.

This is my friend right after clipping it...

This is a fun 10.c...I hate to top rope something so good but the rapp down was purely overhanging from 80 feet. With some rapp gloves I zipped right down that thing.

Me...

More me...

We were so scared to climb this 11.b with the first bolt at least 18 feet in the air that we got desperate to stick-clip the first bolt. It was so high and rocky we thought we'd die if we fell...


Two more of me. Thanks.

Sort of. Back at school (which ended last week) I climbed 3 times per week indoors. This trip you see here is my second outdoor trip, but I try pretty regularly to make it to the gym. Now that I'm home for the summer and my partner is 3 states away, it's going to be more difficult but I plan to keep it up somewhat regularly.
