Awkward!

Since the weather was nice, it was time to get back on rock. Up until now, I have only climbed at the cliff that is close to the parking lot. Today we went to the farthest cliff. Not only did we go to the farthest cliff, but we went to the farthest cliff in the most bass akwards way, as in an extra hour of lugging climbing gear thorough the woods. Nothing like the scenic route! Once there we did a few good routes, until it was time for Andrew to clean the route, as in take out the quick draws.

There was a point in the route where the rock took a curve and it was a really tight squeeze for a few feet. If you planned it right, you could squeeze through in a matter of a few seconds. If you couldn't get a quickdraw out, it could be more in the range of 20-30 minutes. That was where Andrew was. Eventually he had to lie down on the ledge backwards facing the ground and try to reach behind him to un-clip the draw.

The draw wouldn't budge, so we ended up re-leading the route; but on the bright side, the view was great from the ledge!
