Little Falls!

A couple of weekends ago, John (my hairy roommate) led a climbing trip to Little Falls. Little Falls is a sweet top-rope-able area about an hour and a half West of RPI. As I am essentially a rock climbing newb, this trip was a pretty good time. We set up five ropes and I climbed four of them probably up to a 5.6/7 ish range (with several easier). Here's some pictures:




That's Chris climbing and Dan belaying. Chris has officially acquired the I'm-going-to-beat-this-thing angry face. I'm becoming more convinced that success rock climbing is proportional to one's grunting and angry face factor.



Dan then went huge and climbed this route. Is that a cast on Dan's arm? Yes, he climbed the route one-handed (and with the other dangling like a club). There's nothing more humbling than watching a gimped person school you.

Going on an overnight canoe trip this weekend. I hope you enjoy the long weekend if you have one!
