EISPIRATEN

My buddy John and I needed to get out, so we headed up to the Crystal Lake region for a few hours. I did some bouldering, we chilled out, and John took some cool pics.

Clouds rolling in around 1500...


Amanda and I came here a month ago or so and did the majority of possible lines. My neighbor Bart and I nabbed a couple more a week later, and we've been working on what's left.

Very cool! I love the black n white photos!

How long have you had your Nagos? And have they stopped dying your feet?
Everytime I climb it looks like I just stepped in red paint

I love the ones that tilt the slab into OVERHANGING MICRO CRIMP 5.16c X FREE SOLO.

Seriously though, looks like fun. Lemme know next time you head up, always up for some pebble wrestling.

Funyan, I've had them since April or so and yes, they still stain my feet! They're starting to fall apart and they need to be resoled. I'll probably get better shoes soon.

LOL Bert

Fo sho, if you want to go just let me know instead of the other way around. I'm too bored...

My brother and I climbed the cool crack on the other side of the huge boulder and pulled the gnarly looking roof.



There is another large formation up the road a bit. If you park where the destroyed gate is and walk due east you cannot miss it.

The crack is cool, haven't tried that roof yet. Been to that other formation too. 8)

Yea the other one is definitely not as cool. Thanks for putting it up on Mountain Project too. Out of curiosity have you been up to Alder Creek? I've pondered heading up there to check it out...

I nearly took it off MP because of the Negative Nancys on there. Alder Creek sounds very familiar... info? I don't think I've been there but I might have and just forgotten.

Alder Creek

Big Tujunga area (could get to it from Charlton Flat).

Bummer about the flak on MP although it doesn't surprise me, some climbers should spend more time climbing then writing. Probably just a bunch of crusty old farts

I remember reading those posts! Nope, haven't been there yet.

More like crusty young guys on MP. Climbers are a negative bunch...
