The ACC had a top notch day at Looking Glass on Saturday - multi pitches all day. May 9th had perfect weather, the cracks were dry, eyebrows took gear, and the slab was slabby. Post climbing brewskies and a nice dinner on the way back sealed the deal. Here [...]
The club's trip to Horse Pens 40 was a solid day of fun bouldering. A couple of us camped out to take advantage of the better conditions at night. The group sampled classic boulders at HP40 warming up in Ten Pins area before and moving on to Turtle Area, [...]
Yet another perfect day for climbing - cool breeze drifting through the woods and just enough sun to keep things comfortable. Mount Yonah really delivers that mix of hiking, beginner-friendly climbing, and rewarding views at the top. We kicked things off at the Lowers, setting up a handful of [...]
