Not Guiding...

Well its the off season in CB, which means guiding work slows down big time! Which means its Rope Partner time!! I have been in Somerset, PA for about a week now busting it. Long days with good folks. Hear are a few pics more to come......


Driving to work



Big Bad Ben Roethlisberger checking out J. Wiley before going on to lose later that day.

Deer blind with Wind Farm in background, pretty standard.

Climbing in the Black

Well I guess Fall is hear? And that means it's black canyon season!! It's true that there are a few routes you can climb there in the summer in the shade, but I really enjoy being there in the fall! With Mike B back in town for only a few days and myself leaveing in a week for who knows how long(more on that to come...) we had a good mellow day racking up 10 or so pitches with temps only in the 70's.


No bolts in the black!

Not a bad view.


Rockaineering.



Topping out in good style and still in the shade!





With views like this you can see why I like climbing there!
With only a week left in town before I leave on a month+ long rope partner job you can bet I will be back there as much as possible this week! Just remember when climbing in the black to pull down and not out.
