climbing in the alabama hills
yesterday i didn't do much at all. went out for breakfast, then got some coffee and sat around. i met a newly wed couple riding from bakersfield, ca to their home in bozeman, mt for their honeymoon.
went up to the alabama hills in the afternoon to look around and see if i could meet up with some people to climb with. ended up running into another couple from montana, nate and heidi were heading out but said they'd meet me this morning if i wanted to climb then.
i hooked up with them around 10:00 and we got on a couple of 7s and 8s then one 10b. before nate lead the 10b he asked to borrow a couple of draws. he was grunting pretty good the whole way up and when he got down, i made some kind of remark like "boy i don't know if i'll make to to the top of that". "you better make it up there, your draws are at the top and i'm sure not going back up". i got my draws back and had a blast, it was a good crimpy face climb. i'd love to spend a week climbing in the alabama hills.
they decided they wanted to go for a swim in the afternoon and i since they were leaving the next morning just figured i'd head up to bishop, try to meet up with some people in the gorge.
