mini-adventure climbing at Rumney

I didn't climb this weekend but two weekends ago...

I climbed Golddigger on the Main Cliff with Charley. Its an old trad route that was recently retrobolted. Instead of following chalk marks, we had to find the bolts in the lichen (or not and spice things up with a little run-out traverse). What appeared to be chalky holds was actually smooth rock covered in guano.

We made it to the top and then had an exciting double rappel (complete with a swing-in to the first belay ledge).


I spent this weekend in Detroit at Joe & Denise's wedding. (woohoo!!!) Apparently it rained all weekend long in New Hampshire.
