Jerome and I multi-pitch on Raven, at Gibraltar Rock in the Porongorups. He did the whole five pitches barefoot.
We got so bored by the end, we even simul-climbed the final two pitches barefoot. It was not a 15.
After last weeks mission on a wet Angel's Crest, awesome-Erika and myself decided to head back to the west-coast wonderland of Squamish and spend a day cragging some single pitch crack, before embarking on another climb up the chief. This mission: the new 5.9 variation of the classic Squamish Buttress route, aptly named Squamish Butt-Face. Instead of the buttress, one climbs this route by venturing out on to the face. Hence the name.
We ended up going up with three rope teams of two. A six person mission up the chief?! It can be done! Erika and myself, as well as Jeff and Adam sent the Buttface. Jolene, with Don's belay, sent the Squamish Buttress, the routes rendezvous up top. There was much glee! :)
Erika and I were on the ball this time around. I rope-gunned it and led all thirteen pitches, and I think this was the best I have ever felt on a big climb. It was a spectacular climb.
I'll let the images speak for themselves for now, more later. This smile will take a while to wear off.
Gosh I love Rock Climbing!!!!!!
Two teams moving up Pfaffenhut's steeper parts. The upper pair of climbers in Sternschnuppe 6c+. The one in the frame's lower part climbs on Patent Ochsner 7a. Great day out in the mountains.
Sometimes a certain type of loves leaves your life that cannot be replaced. Maybe you don't recognize this at first, but eventually you quit trying to find someone to share your time with, you back away from friends, and from family choosing to socialize on a shallow level spending most of your time alone. Instead you spend your time giving your dog the best life he could have. You play fetch for hours, you boulder instead of go multipitching, you choose the easier mountain than what you really want to do, and you only take jobs he can join. You put him first and he becomes you family, your best friend, and your greatest adventure pal. Sometimes he drives you crazy, but when the day is done all that matters is the unconditional love he gives to you. With Frank I have a purpose, I make a life better, and am accepted for myself. When I see him rolling in a field of heather, or he thanks me for a alpine day in his very own bizarre but clear way it is all I need to keep my focus on him instead of on people.
I recently spent a week exploring the backroads around Pemberton, playing in lakes, scrambling mountains, meditating, and playing with my one and only Squawesome Frank.

07.03.10 | Telendos, Kalymnos, Greece | Telendos Isle, just off the coast of Kalymnos was a quiet friend - almost always in the background as we climbed. Once upon a time ~530 AD it was actually attached to Kalymnos but during what must have been a pretty bad day for the Kalmnians a massive earthquake ripped it free and submerged a town in between under 20 fathoms of water. We didn't make it out to Telendos to climb but heard that a lot of great new route development (multipitch stuff too) has been going on out there. | Photo by Jeffrey Rueppel
Three amazing days in Squamish (Canada's Climbing Paradise) with My good friends Kristy and Dan. Three days of free camping, sweat, dirt, cheap pasta, mosquitos, chalk, granite, endless sunshine, sport climbing, bouldering, and an epic multipitch adventure up the Chief!

Chatyr-Dag (Crimean Tatar: Çatır Dağ, Ukrainian: Чатир-Даг, Russian: Чатыр-Даг) is a mountainous massif in Crimea, near Simferopol-Alushta highway. In the Crimean Tatar language çatır means tent and dağ means mountain.
The mountain consists of two plateaus: the lower (north) and the upper (south). The lower plateau slopes gently down to its northern side, which is covered in steppe grass. On its southern end (near the steep slope of the higher plateau), the lower plateau is covered with beech forests and juniper glades. It has many hiking trails and several beautiful caves (see a list below). On the east side of the lower plateau there is an outpost grove of yews.
The upper plateau has a shape of a giant bowl and on its brim, the highest peaks are each named. The upper plateau is covered with alpine meadows. Its slopes are very steep and offer some routes for multipitch climbing (that's rock climbing routes, longer than length of one climbing rope). The highest peak is Eklizi-Bourun (1527m. above sea level)

Dan gets wet feet after abseiling 165 feet to the bottom of The Devil's Slide, Lundy Island (OS 1314 4688).
Great multi pitch, 3 pitches of superbe rock (a little bit dirty because it's not often repeated). You climb the central pillar in the middle of the face.Start from the writing "Tommi 3 SL", and follow the "small" Cassin fix. Rope 60/70 m necessary, 10 quickdraws. Rappel on the route.
L1 : hard start on technical slab, small overhang and slabs till the first belay. 6a+ 25m
L2 : slab. A short section with hard and technical movements. 7a, 25m
L3 :superbe black rock with holes, then climb the edge till the last belay. Great pitch. 25m 6b+
Bellissima via di 3 tiri al Sass Dlacia. Roccia stupenda ma un pò sporca nella seconda lunghezza. Il passo di 7a è difficile. L'ultimo tiro regala un'arrampicata stupenda su placca nera a buchi e poi sul filo dello spigolo. Attacco sulla scritta "Tommy 3 SL", seguire le piastrine Cassin. Corda da 60-70m, 10 rinvii. Discesa in doppia lungo la via.

View down from the roofs lip of pitch 5 (7b). Had to hangdog for learning and comprehending the surprisingly hard for the grade move sequence. Send it next try (I try to redpoint all routes, even alpine multipitch). So I found some time to take the camera and catch Martina on belay L4/L5, 'Spectacolo', Hintisberg/Switzerland

"Me or My Girl" (grade 21) is one of the many excellent face climbs at Bosch crag, in Montagu.
Montagu boast hundreds of quality bolted routes, and a growing number of multipitch trad lines. It is a popular tourist destination offering mostly climbing, mountain-biking and hiking. It's a two-hour drive from Cape Town, making it popular with the locals too.

Loose, rusty and 'over 20 years sticking in granite' 6- or 8-mm bolt... The first belay of 'Jack Daniels'. Fortunately the gear is getting better on the next pitches...
