Dangling with a View: Fall

Not much of an unusual update, but sometimes no news is good news. In the midst of trying to finish projects (school, work, and climbing), preparing for future ones, and finding/planning for new ones. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Because I'm still in school, trips have been mostly following the beat of either day or weekend trips. I've made some trips out to the local choss pile of South Mountain during the week, and the draw on the weekend. I haven't projected too much either, but instead have been spending some time climbing with Noah and Anthony who have been working (and sending!) their projects, Hermit, Bad Ass, Super Roof, and Anorexic. It's been more exciting watching their progress over mine. I have also been climbing a bit more with Bobby and Josh at the Underhill and other stuff in the Hinterlands.

Most recently, I was able to do one of the several contrived linkups at the Bad Ass Roof, One Bad Stinky Ass Mother[redacted], which links up Stinky Ass to a reverse of Bad Ass, and then exits on the V2 to the left. It is contrived, but it's something to do when you're bored to build fitness. There are a few other lines so I'll probably get to those at some point. I'll probably be visiting this roof a fair bit. Bad Ass is a good roof for circuiting.

I've also worked a bit on BK Broiler, but didn't get very far in my very few goes. I've also sampled a few of the lines in the forests. I got close on Garden Heist and have been working a fair bit on Hockety Pockety and Clampdown. Down in central AZ land, I was able to finally fish off Tsunami Arete, a fun V4 during a weekday night session with Noah, do several laps on Popeyes Roof and managed a repeat of Elephant Tree at some other excursions.

I've been mostly stoked on Mars Roof and some stuff at the Drysdales, so until the snow and winter starts shutting things down up north and I'll start returning back to the Supes, I think I'll be spending most of my time there. Streetfighter is still on my mind but I think for now I'll relegate it to a short-term project.

In a few weeks, I'll be going to Joe's Valley for Thanksgiving, so I'm looking forward to climbing on things that aren't mostly pocketed limestone roofs. I made it a goal this season to do some out-of-state trips so I'm glad that I'm finally able to achieve some of these goals.

The number of projects are increasingly getting larger so instead of listing them out one by one, I'll put down an example list:

NAZ: Tony's Roof (in better style), Other Draw problems, Diablo Canyon, search for things (found and fresh) in the Mogollon Rim, Lake Mary, and stuff down Woody Mountain.

CAZ: Superstitions (established Fortress, Cemetery, and Valhalla) problems, Volcanic Roofs

Out of state: All the classics.
