Heading to Lolo...

I'm psyched.

Heading towards Missoula for a bouldering tour from Levi and crew...not the Boulder Batholith, but the Idaho Batholith I believe...should be fun.

From what I've seen, it looks choice.


couple borrowed shots of Levi...








pictures will be taken, and perhaps a mobile post if I get reception out there...

Cheers!

Casual Monday Morning Pullin'

Mo had a rare Monday off, and with the weather being stellar (low 80's) we decided to head to a spot between the Northern Bourbons and the Single Malts where an "island" of a few really nice pebbles could be played on.

The warm-up climb for me...


The warm-up climb for Mo...


A nice off-hands crack on the adjacent boulder--a real gem, too bad it is the downclimb. There are other harder cracks on this boulder, too.


Mo following fine face features flawlessly


Same problem from another angle


Last problem climbed that day--funky wierdness


Our "tag-along" for the session--Ladd slept in and missed school, so his reward/punishment was to come along bouldering with us.

More Delmoe Lake Bouldering

Bouldering along a lake shore is a pretty nice feeling. Being originally a Midwesterner, I sometimes miss the lakes and pines...this hike amongst Delmoe Lakes' boulders and climbing near the water brought on a great feeling.




slightly dynamic move to the flake




Weird highstep/reach thing





great moderate along the shore




This thing was on the edge of alot more quality looking boulders. I gave this problem a couple of goes, but the day was drawing to a close and we had a party in Butte to attend.



The topout, filled with moist pine needles, caused me to rethink pulling over, and instead lobbed a nice fall from the lip. sweet




Cheers!
