One of the most visually aesthetic trad climbs I’ve ever done in J-Tree… Imaginary Voyage [10d] out in Lost Horse Area.

No picture i’ve seen does it justice.

First time I’ve every used the BD #6, inserting your legs in 20ft horizontal crack, then doing constant pull ups to shuffle your thighs. It’s like hanging on the side of the building, and then using your lower legs to traverse around the building. Um yea…my bad, i’m horrible at describing this climb. Just go out there and experience it for yourself, and come back to me with a better description.

Im just being nostalgic because Jtree’s good weather window is coming to an end. BUT this memorial weekend saturday’s weather is 70F!!! FK YEA. going.

Guess what I got in the mail today! The NEW Jtree bouldering guide, I preordred from wolverine publishing.

Its fate, because Im heading to Josh today also! (but) going tradding ahha.

“Down by the four-lane highway just a few miles from the park’s border, an Indian tribe wants to build a massive, off-reservation casino. A predatory out-of-state corporation wants to build a pseudo-general store on open land to make easy money off our fixed-income and low-income neighbors. The economic crash has sent the unemployment and food-stamp numbers here through the roof. People who bought homes from predatory lenders are stuck paying mortgages for much more than their homes are worth. Weird water policies have meant that we have to look beyond our own local aquifer for water. Energy companies want to build fields of solar panels and windmills to supply power to the cities that will not supply power for themselves. Off-road vehicles are driven illegally on county roads and in BLM land regularly, crushing animals and plants, disturbing the landscape and breaking the hard-won silence.

In other words, almost everybody here is hurting. Almost everything here is in danger. Needs defending.”
