Daks adventures

Since I've returned to the Northeast I've been climbing primarily in the Adirondaacks on a mission for new routes! The Daks have soooooo much potential and there is sooo much rock that I quickly found myself with 4 new projects, only 1 of which I've been able to send. Needless to say, I've got my hands full for the summer and fall! Naomi and I also had an incredible day on Cannon Cliff right after I got back. We did the VMC Direct Direct. This is a mega-classic route and Naomi crushed it!

Some pics below!


The Tsunami Wall project at Silver Lake in the Daks. The  route takes the twin cracks up the middle of the face and is actually the only route on the 115degree overhanging wall that I think will go free. My friend Peter Kamitses tried it and we both think it may be 5.14! Sick!
