Spent the enter weekend climbing@ Taylors Falls with Tom. Saturday we climbed on the Minnesota side, setting up in the Column area. Worked on the lower column of Column Direct and after several attempts, I figured it out. Next time I'm back I hope to send it ! We then practiced mach Trad Leading on a couple of easier lines next to the Column. We had a great day of climbing and lots of Trad practice. By the end of the day we were fried.
Sunday we climbed on the Wisconsin side and climbed "Lost Ego" 5.8 crack climb. We then practiced mach Trad Lead on "Lost Ego". It was good experience as crack climbing is a different style of climbing than face or slab climbing. I was pleased with my crack climbing skills outdoors when compared to my poor crack climbing experiences in the gym. As usual we both started the day out saying we were going to have an easy day, but true to form both Tom and I kicked are asses again. Today I saw our practicing jelling into true team work and we both are working on our efficiency from set-up, to communication to our climbing. We ended our day hiking over to the Indianhead area and set up a climb called "Lay Back" 5.8, what a wild climb to end our day, totally fried.
What a great weekend of climbing, endurance and team building !
