Back in the Valley of the Devil! |
Jen started up pitch one, and missed the first bolted belay turning it into a mega-simul-climbed pitch ... but worse, managed to open a river near the top of it. |
So, early in the day we had some pretty soaked ropes which then froze into fat cables. Forcing the ropes through the belay devices was probably more work than climbing. |
But we continued up, into the top bowl for the final two pitches. |
Cables. Much heavier on the walk back, too! |
