Did you try Mega Man?

Did you try Mega Man?

Not yesterday. Tried a 7C+ problem called Desperado without really any success. I put a day in on Mega Man last fall. Should probably go back to it since I just learned there's some different feet beta for tall peeps.

A few selections from an ice fishing bottle share two weekends ago at Lake of the Woods, OR. Yes, I took stemware onto the lake.

I expect to see some pics of the catch in the fishing thread.

Ha! Between 15 people, we caught about a dozen yellow perch. I caught none.

Same beer as above but at Black Mountain in SoCal. Today was my last day of bouldering. Time for rope climbing, which I am stoked for cause I can get way drunker and still be good at.

Dope picture. Is that crimp as small as it looks?

Its small feeling cause it faces the wrong way and the wall is so steep but its probably the biggest hold on the boulder.

how the hell do you get back down from that?

cannonball into the bushes?

Yeah you could jump from the lip. With a bunch of bouldering pads below you it wouldn't be too bad. But there is also a 40 foot slab on the backside that if you can climb up that overhang you are probably comfortable climbing down the tall backside.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The first one is summit caldera of Mauna Ulu looking back towards Mauna Kea. Second photo is the Byron Rim Trail along the main Kilauea caldera. Thanks to DCLA for the Coffee Cart can assist.

Strictly speaking this isn't backcountry as there is a road out of frame. But we did hike around a bit after I drank this beer at 13,800 feet. Mumford Butterfly Scratch on Mauna Kea. Feeling good.

Edit: Sorry for the blurry pic. It was a rush job as the ranger started walking over to our group.

Never did post this; can't wait for summer.

This one of yours is equally worthy....

Along the Mt. Wilson trail recently. Just a few miles north east of downtown Los Angeles.

Ah, thanks! I just had the backcountry mindset and there were hundreds of people walking around me at the Grand Canyon.

Nice way to end a day of bouldering at Rocktown in northern GA. Probably won't be back here until the fall now that the heat is here to stay.

Nice hike up Ryan Mountain in Joshua Tree national park. Beer was as gorgeous as the view there.

Still a little wintery in parts of SoCal! Hiking 10 miles today to try and climb this boulder I found last fall. It ended up being taller than I remembered and the snow didn't help as much as I was hoping so no send. But motivated to go back! Brought some Timbo Pils and Ultra Cloud along, which really hit the spot.

It was fabulous. I was shocked TBH. I figured it was too old but it still had some lingering fruit and it was refreshing AF. Nice HF. Detected no acidity, very balanced.

DCLA how do you keep beers cold when hiking? I am lamenting the end of snow season...

Small insulated lunch bag plus an ice pack or two. Works super well.
