Finally, I made it to climb outside!!! no accidents or rain to stop us this time. On thanksgiving monday, I went out with my friends Alex and Aaron to Rattlesnake Point, just outside Toronto in the Escarpment. We started out with an 'easy' route, Alex leading up on gear. It didn't feel that easy, and I wasn't even on the sharp end. The next climb was another trad route led by Alex, very nice...I don't have it in me to lead (on gear) right now, getting back slowly, no risks. It feels strange to climb without Mike - I think, he'd be happy to see us out there. We top-roped two more routes. Unfortunately, it's kinda polished, but I won't complain. The feeling of real rock under your fingers, your skin painful on the touch of the rock - I missed it! Thanks guys for taking me out!
still looking good...didn't get much further...picture taken by Aaron
Hopefully, back next weekend!
endlich!!
