Last Friday was the first sunny day Cache Valley has seen in a long while! I took advantage of it by going to a crag that many find shitty and chossy, but for some reason I love it up there! We got on Haylee's Day Off (5.9) for our warm up and in my opinion its the scariest nine in the canyon :) What a great way to get your head back into climbing outside right?!?! Our goal for the day was to get on Dobby (5.13a). It was project up there for a while I'm not quite sure when it was bolted, but when I went up there to give it a burn it still had a yellow rope tied on the first bolt. When I saw that I almost didn't try it for fear of making someone mad, but after realizing it was very sun worn and not hearing anyone say that they had been trying it I decided to give a burn. It went down last year, but didn't get any pictures or anything to document the send so we went back. The line is short and bouldery; you could possibly boulder it, but the landing would be iffy. The crux move and send revolves around whether or not you can stick the dead point to a two finger pocket. Your feet are solid but your hands are sketchy. Anyways here are some pictures for ya!
Getting ready for ago.
Standing up and hitting the pocket.
From the pocket crank into a left gaston and get your foot up.
After that hit a right finger jug and clip 2nd bolt.
Then its just a few slopers to the finish.
I was stoked to get back on something that felt hard last year and do it relatively easy. Anyways that's what I've been up to and hopefully will be able to get out soon again!
PEACE!
