Buckaroo Banzai Pt. II

Donut, ranch dog.

Alf, finishing the pitch after another brief snowstorm.

Carla had fun cleaning, and even got to pull a big block down unexpectedly!

Final photo before sunset.  We almost all made it. :)

Buckaroo Banzai Part 1

Technicolor Wall. Buckaroo is the first crack right of the large corner/arete just left of center.  There is a large roof near the top, and a small (looking) flake near the bottom.

The start of the route is kinda dirty, but just above the large flake it's solid. We stood and pulled on the flake, but it didn't come loose.  It could use a good prying though.

The second pitch, a huge horizontal roof, is up for grabs.







The daily creek crossing.

Indian Creek - First Ascent of Preemie

Located at the Pregnant Woman Wall, just above camp in the cottonwoods, no driving necessary!

Alf leading on the first ascent.  Just a little bit of offwidth, pinching to fingers, widening back to a #6 camalot, with a fun roof/chimney at the end!  5.10+


Got to drill my first bolt, fun stuff!
