Dog Dayz 2018 – Moore’s Wall Bouldering
Hot and humid southern climbing, one would not normally think of heading up to Hanging Rock State Park for some crimping on some boulders. Jared putted together a awesome events, which gathered groups of climbers around the NC area to hang out, loose some skin, and fail around in the woods.
The drive up in the morning was nice and ominous, clouds were sitting low and moist was hanging like wet sponge.
The parking filled up right at 10AM as the horde of climbing masochists poured in. Rain was definitely in the forecast, we just didn’t know how long it would hold out.
Every hump up the hill, to the main bouldering area and began to throw themselves on whatever was possible. The day ensued with steep overhangs, manky crimps, bloody dynos, avoiding wasps nest, ever moving sea of pads.
The day finished out with everyone gathering near one boulder, trying friction problems in the slick conditions. Then the thunder began in the distances. Right at the scheduled end time, the skys opened up and everyone scurried down the hill. The down pour was about 15 mins of a duelge . But it cleared up enough for a talley on results, hanging out of prizes, and decision to go eat at Dairi-o’s.
