Just a few quick pictures from Sunday’s climbing adventure at Ragged Mnt.
Trad climbing works by placing gear into the rock as you climb. Here’s a nut Pete placed halfway up the climb above.
If Pete were to fall, the nut would jam itself into the rock and act as an anchor.
We did three quick routes. I had to convince Pete not to bother with Carey Corner – which is a nasty off width. UGH. I hate off widths.
Pete’s considering heading out to Red Rocks next season. Perhaps I’ll join him. It’s a different league of climbing.
