I thought I was moving to Bend, and then I discovered the Supercave. A little rock moving could go a long way, we could funnel in rain water, the Mazama store is right down the street, and I've heard the local rats are friendly. Plus we'd get to really dial in the 5.11 approach pitches. Who's in?! #fixedlinestothefrontporch #Supercavecommune // 📷: @austin_siadak Well we didn't find all 15 of Blake's "top 15 climbs in the Cascades" hidden throughout his book, but we did manage to climb two of them. A WA Pass weekend made significantly more classic by party walling, alpineering, and crack of noon starts with an amazing crew of friends. . . . And if anyone can name me all 15 classics from Cascades Rock, I'll give you a 👊🏻, 🍺, and 5⭐️. Upper Town Wall vibes. We sleep deep and I wake up buzzing with joy and excitement, wanting to rouse Sarah and Josh and Del and share glory stories of the days previous. Morning coffee in hand, I’m struck with the thought that prior to receiving the email from Sarah back in March, I had never even thought of attempting All Along the Watchtower. The mountain loomed way out of my league, as many do. In one breath I whisper, “Heck yeah,” and “Shit,” feeling both the rush of achieving the impossible and the weight of previously deeming what is possible, impossible. Intimidation and a lack of confidence might be the hallmarks of my life, and I consider with a hint of sadness that there might be myriad other “mountains” that I’m keeping myself from “climbing.” . . My long time friend @dohertyjf has got something cool going on over at @singlegeared, and he managed to get me writing about @sarahleannehart and my Bugaboos adventure this summer. Check it out 👆🏼link in profile. // 📷: @joshu_wow . . . . . #sheadventures #OutdoorResearch Joe kept saying he was having a 5.5/10 kind of time in Squamish, but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of dry British sarcasm mixed in. I personally would score the last few weeks about an 11/10, and if you want more numbers, our climbing to swimming ratio was 1:1, the pitches to cookies ratio about the same, and we managed 4 batches of free ice, 11 nights of free camping, and 2 mornings of free coffee creamer. We accidentally forgot to take a rest day, going 11 for 11, which might have caught up to us on the Grand Wall a few days ago when we dropped 2 pieces of gear, pulled on a few others, and said "I'm so tired" approximately 27 times. We ate 3 meals from Mags99, climbed upwards of 60 pitches, and danced to 80s jams at least 7 times. All in all Joe passed his first semester of crack school with an 81% for style and a whopping 100% for effort, left with just a fraction of the skin he arrived with, and made me 1 happy Jenny. #math #goobsquad
