Woodbury Road Crag

We went to the Woodbury Road crag today, and after forgetting that Amy and Mark didn't have a guidebook (which sent them down some dead ends --sorry guys!!!), we all ended up at one of my favorite crags of the trip. Even the moderates were fun, with huge chunky runnels everywhere. Here are some shots of the left hand side:




Zoe was, as usual not in the mood for sleep, but I *almost* got her to sleep in the tent a few times

My favorite of the crag (and the trip) was the 11b that starts off the big boulder:





which is absolutely stellar. I noticed some other climbs to the right hand side which were unfortunately not in the guide book. One of them looked super cool, but turned out to be a little harder than what I wanted to get on that day, was sort of a choss heap, and as a final kick in the teeth had rap anchors, which made cleaning this steep route a bit of an adventure.



Here is Zoe, happy to be back at the car after a full day of eating Cheerios off the tent floor


Unfinished business: The rest of the right hand side of the wall and of course the Black and Tan Wall.
