Hidden Treasure

My friend Carmen that I climb with from Nashville e-mailed me some pictures today of me climbing on Hidden Treasure .12a at Jackson Falls. Pretty cool pictures and it shows just how small and thin it is in the crux.

Pulling off of the rest hold and onto the face crimps:


After you traverse right, clip, and traverse a little more you come to a point where you have to continue up. For me it's a big reach with the right followed by a high foot with the left. This is the crux for me and is what's holding me back from a send.


Here is after I've worked the crux and am moving up through more small, but larger edges and to the top:



This is definitely one of the routes that I'm most psyched on at The Falls for the spring. Hopefully, the weather is going to stay good for us and we'll have lots of good temps and dry weather! I'm also getting together a tick list of projects I'd really like to send during the year 2009. I've got big expectations and hopefully I'll be able to do the list some justice!
