Travels and Vagabonds
I revisited Pilot Mountain this past weekend, the forecast was crappy but the sun would be shining on the south facing walls.

Rumbling Bald was a place that we told me I have to visit while I am in NC. The cliffs are south facing so the time to climb there is in the winter, after the poison ivy dies, but before the place turns into a oven. Continue reading “Rumbling Bald and Rock Face Recreational Park”
Rocktober
The end October came around and it is the best time of year to get out and climb some rocks. I was able to coordinate my week of climbing to tag along with some friends from Colorado who also happened to be doing a climbing trip across America for the fall.

During the last couple of months, I went down to Shelf several times. Different things occurred during the trips by I decided to make 1 compilation post of Shelf pictures from the events. Continue reading “Shelf Road’s Last Hoorah”
Orange Oswald
Before heading out to Jay’s Bachelor party weekend in Deep Creek Maryland, Nathan and I loaded up his truck with climbing gear and drove down to Summersville, WV to meet Alexis for some climbing. The plan was to spend 2 days down there swimming and climbing before the party weekend.
