San Angelo Shreddin'

Guest blog by abilene climber and all around good guy, Jarrod:

This is an account on the adventure to San Angelo, Texas. Alex, Asa, John, and I set out for Angelo at 9 on Saturday morning, for some good ole limestone bouldering. The weather was amazing and the vibe was great!

We started out on a V2 traverse. The consists of around 25 moves and you're completely parallel with the ground the entire time. Asa quickly nagged the first ascent and proudly named it "Asa Spades." Alex, John, and I gave it our all, but the rock proved to be to much for us. We then moved to a nice little dyno that Alex and I quickly tagged, but not without a loss of some prescious skin. By this time we'd all got a top out, so the mood was bumpin. We all tacked on a few V0's and took a rest for some lunch.

After lunch we worked on a slopey climb that I got the first ascent on. With the help of John, we named it "Under and Over." We rated it at a V2. It consisted of 4 moves but they were very awkward. Alex gave his all on this one, but was slipped on the last hold. Next time it's yours Alex! The rest of the time we dedicated to establishing new climbs and jumping on anything that looked climbable. There's at least 12 climbs that we set up, but there's a lot more to be had. Eric, this is your job.

My blogging skills are bad, so I'll leave the adventure to that. Good climbing everyone!
