- Description:
- I don't do a lot of rock climbing, but Jeff took me up to Boulder
Canyon to check out The Watermark and the First Tier of Avalon.
This area is all sport climbing. I even got on the sharp end of
the rope and led a few of the easier pitches we climbed. Jeff's a
better climber than me and was my rope gun for the harder pitches we
climbed. We started at The Watermark where we warmed up by both of
us leading Road to Isengard (5.8) and The Memory of Trees (5.9).
After this we moved over to the First Tier of Avalon and climbed Iron
Maiden (5.9), Sword in the Stone (5.9+), Slayer (5.10b), and Marquis de
Sade (5.10c). Iron Maiden was the only one I had the balls to
lead; otherwise, Jeff led them all.
