cute little dragonfly at GB

Climbers: taka and Yusuke
Guest Climbers: Alex K. and Kyle

Today is the revenge day of GB.  It was cooler but not ideal temp.  I really wanted to do Green Goddess V7 and The Bump V8.

Green Goddess V7 took me many tries especially the first few moves that were very nasty crimps in hot weather.  They are rounded crimps and are hard to hold.

The Bump V8 was easy until this crux bump, for me a deadpoint.  I stuck the bump once but I forgot the last moves and failed.  It took me a while to stick for the second time but I was able to send it.

Alex and Kyle were kind enough to show us around but rain started... though I was able to do Big Hairy White Thing V6 in short time:)


GBのリベンジでっす。　先週見たGreen Goddess V7とThe Bump V8.をやりに行く。　

Green Goddess V7は初めの部分が持ちにくい丸くなっているカチですごく嫌な感じ。　でもそれを耐えたら完登。

The Bump V8は名前どおりで飛ばしが核心。　アメリカ人サイズならスタで飛ばせるが、おいらはデッドorz　初めて止まったときは頭が真っ白で落下orz　次に止まるまで数便打ったが何とか止まって登れた。。。

ローカルクライマーさんにいくつか課題を紹介してもらったがまたもや雨。。。　Big Hairy White Thing V6を2便で登ってさっさと撤収した。　まだまだ課題がたくさんありそうだ。

This is wrong approach! Watch out for TICKS!!!

Climbers: Yeahuda, Randy, Christina, taka and Yusuke

With little bit of information, we went to GB area in Western Mass.  We were fine until parking space but totally got lost getting into trail in the woods.  We walked in the grass and Shiro had 10+ ticks in his hair so everyone should be careful about ticks there!!!

Arrived at one of the famous area.  We were able to locate Crystal Methods V3 and Scary Menelow V4, and sent both of them.  Crystal Methods V3 felt very hard for the grade.

I saw other problems that looked interesting but we knew the storm will be coming so we came down.

今日はマサチューセッツ州の西側にあるGBと言うエリアへ行った。　情報はほとんどない。　草むらでかなり迷ったあげく、シロには10匹ほどのマダニ付着していた、おぞましい！

結局、課題に到着したのは遅く、Crystal Methods V3、Scary Menelow V4だけをやった。　Crystal Methods V3はハイボールでV3にしては難しいし怖い。　V4は無事フラッシュ。　他にも有名課題を見つけることができたが大雨が降りそうだったので3時ごろに撤収。
