Rattlesnake

Hah - no climbing for most of the season, but now I am back! I went with some motivated folks to Rattlesnake again in mid-october. A great and sunny day, we started up setting two top ropes on supposedly 'easy' climbs. Our first route was 'cobwebs' - a popular 5.6ish climb in a corner - popular=very polished. At least it was not overhanging, as the rest of the climbs for the day.

Cobwebs

Clem's first outdoor climb!

James on the 5.8
Next route was a 5.8, with some pumpy overhanging moves high up. Outside climbing feels so much harder. I seem to forget simply me technique and use my arms too much...And overhangs are so pumpy, hanging on one hand, looking for the next hold for feet and hands. Where's the coloured tape ;)

Perfect rest position :)
An awesome day outside - thanks guys!
