Just got our plane tickets settled, Oct 27-Nov 3
Anyone who wants to join us would be welcomed
Probably do some climbing in Owens river gorge, and Yosemite depending on whether or not the mountain passes are clear (tioga)
The current project list is, Mandala, The swarm, Maze of death, Xaviers roof, spectre and bunch of other stuff
Anyone have suggestions on what I should be training (other than crimp strength), personal beta would be appreciated as well.
Super PSYYYched to be heading back, hopefully the weather will be bomber

I'm jealous man! My advice, train your skin for some serious PAIN! But if you've been there before, you know that already.

Liar, you're a route climber hahaha Any recommendations for crimpy 5.14's at ORG or sporty multi pitch in Yosemite, I've always wanted to check out Snake "hike"/dyke Also, has anyone ever stayed at Hostel California, looks like a nice little place My skin doesn't really firm up until winter, pretty sure I have super sweaty hands since they never callus Bishop rock is pretty tolerable compared to other places I've been |

I don't know of any 5.14s in the Owens river gorge to be honest. There are some 5.13+ linkups and things like that people (peter croft) have done in the Eldorado Roof. There are plenty of classics in the 5.13 range though. Some off the top of my head.... Aurora, Ascension, Yellow Streak, Holey War. You should visit the Tioga Cliff if you want some amazing granite sport climbing. That should be prime season for that wall.

Tioga cliff sounds really cool unfortunately I only have a 60m rope and no gear to speak of so I guess I would be looking for easy "sporty" stuff to run out or stuff to set up top ropes Thanks for the great suggestion though |

Mandala was too hard for such a sort time. Maze of death felt totally doable with a little more time...I was sad that I wasted my best efforts on other things. I did 1 v9 second go (no hard flashes). The total was something like 1 classic v8 midnight lightning (best rock climb ive ever done), 4 v9's, and 1 v10. I climbed 6 days on and was totally thrashed by the end of the week!
