Little Cottonwood Canyon

Leaving Joe's

last two nights we've been climbing at little cottonwood
first night we were at the bully area...

with a big crew of ppl, but most of them didn't even climb...

yesterday: jimmy had a great night...

started off with doing the bully (v11), then we went back down to the first boulder by the road and he completed copperhead (v10)...

then we proceeded up one boulder where he did all thumbs (v10)...
isabelle, jon and i climbed around on some crazy hard v4s, which eventually isabelle unlocked the beta on twisted dihedral (v4)...

today: we climbed at the gate area...

Jon warming up on the arete

jimmy had his eye on pro series (v11), he made the first few moves really easy...

the last move stopped him, but after a few burns he did the last move...

it was awesome! isabelle, jon and i tried the stand to what jimmy was working (super fly v8) but we failed because the right crimp was tiny and really sharp...

instead we started working on bar fly (v9 more like soft v8)...

after several minutes of figuring out the beta we had a send train going on it...

Bar fly

we then continued on over to the mr. smiley boulder...

jimmy sent two giant steps (v9), isabelle sent mr. smiley left (v8), and i did mr. smiley center (v7)...
