Yosemite & Bishop & Red Rock combo FALL 2024
A short video sum of the past few weeks: started in the valley, climbing several single-pitch routes and spending one long day on the East Buttress of El Cap. Crossed Tioga Pass before its closure for a day of bouldering in Bishop. Enjoyed the hot springs, then drove down to Red Rock with a quick stop in Pine Creek. Climbed Dream of Wild Turkeys and Epinephrine, finishing with Mark’s heroic send of The Fox on his last day before heading home for hernia surgery.

North Chimney 5.9 - Castleton Tower /Castle Valley/
Переглядів 1,6 тис.8 місяців тому
I climbed Castleton Tower for the first time back in December, choosing the 5.9 sandbag Kor-Ingels route and was pretty much dusted by the glassy calcite chimneys and off-widths. This time, @markdangelo and I decided to go up the North Chimney, an amazing 3-pitch route with a little bit of everything. It was supposed to be a warm day with just a bit of extra wind, but it ended up being 10m/s gu...

Northeast Buttress of Mt. Slesse 5.9
Переглядів 55610 місяців тому
Type: Trad, Alpine, 24 pitches, Grade V FA: Fred Beckey in 1963 Back in September 2020, Felipe, Fernando, and I climbed the Northeast Buttress of Mt. Slesse. We planned for one bivouac but ended up with two, sleeping at the base and on the top. The first night, we were caught in rain at midnight and used an aluminum blanket as a rain cover to protect my down sleeping bag. Kudos to Felipe, who l...
The Fox 5.10+ / Calico Basin / Red Rock Canyon
Переглядів 12910 місяців тому
I visited The Fox the previous week and botched my on-sight attempt, largely due to numb hands and toes from the cold. This time, conditions were ideal. The crack offers a wide range of sizes, from a .2 Totem at the bottom boulder to a .5 higher up on the crest. Along the route, there are at least three solid rests. For me, the crux was the .5 size at the bottom. The successful ascent felt incr...
Birdland 5.7+ Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Did the Birdland 5.7 with @imikevi the other day. Highly recommend this climb even if you prefer harder stuff. What I liked about this one in particular is that you can pick your own poison for most of the route. Whether you prefer crack climbing or face climbing , it's all there. Especially the second last pitch was the 💵💵.
First six pitches of East Buttress 5.10b - El Capitan Yosemite
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
Third day of my first valley visit, me and my buddy John decided to take on the challenge of freeing the Cap via the shortest and "easiest" route, East Buttress. It turned into quite an adventure, mostly because of tricky route finding and the surprising lack of bolted anchors on such a popular "easy" Cap route. We reached the top just as the sun was setting, and our descent in the dark, not re...
Yosemite El Capitan - The Nose only to Sickle via Pine Line
Переглядів 594Рік тому
Last week of Sep 2023, me and Felipe were gonna climb up the El Cap via The Nose. Unfortunately we had to bail from the Sickle after fixing the lines, hauling the bags and spending the night on a portal ledge cause of some muscle issues which could get much worse higher up. Great experience despite the fact we didn't send this time. Will be back for this one next season!
I don't know why this video was recommended to me, but it's an incredible video, congratulations for the work
Super !!
Beautiful video, thank you!
Late start!
An old-school adventure route for sure. The crux move right before 1:47 was really tough as a shorter climber, and we too topped out in the dark after letting a party pass and difficult routefinding on P9. Thankfully the descent went smoothly with Sloan topo. Thanks for sharing!
RIght on. Total Classic.
very nice video my friend
That's one big rock.
