We did it!
Drove up to the Pigeon Mountain area over the Memorial day weekend - and climbed! We didn't get to the climbing are till late Saturday afternoon - but we were able to setup for three different routes and get some quality time on the rock. We ran into a local - Basil - who had climbed the area for the last 4 years - so we did pretty good. I think the first climb was just a 5.8 (Guzzler) - a crack climb. It took me a while to get used to climbing outdoors at first. But after the first climb, we didn't have any trouble. The second climb was on the same face - a bit harder (5.9 I think). It was fun. The third one was a harder climb - 5.10. I did the climb all the way up to the difficult part - a huge boulder on top of the face - and just couldn't reach the first hold to get over the bouldery part.
After the climb, we drove over to the blue hole and took a dip into the chilly blue waters. Camped over night and did two more routes the next morning.
More pictures to come soon..
