Climbing has allowed me to meet some amazing people and even more amazing friends! I am very grateful to have met all of you and each and every one of you continues to shape my life in a positive way. The fun adventures we share I will never forget and literally can’t wait for more. Lets Go!
The Wednesday Crew is my group of friends and climbing hippies that go climbing every Wednesday, all day long. Since there are so many climbing areas within 45 minutes of Phoenix that offer amazing bouldering, sport climbing, and trad climbing, the only uncertainty about Wednesdays is which crag to go to.
This past wednesday we went to South Mountain which is our home bouldering crag. Just 20 minutes away, South Mt. offers some really fun and interesting climbing. Recently, some friends discovered a new area in the park which has some incredible boulder problems as well as a spectacular view of phoenix and surrounding mountains as the sun sets.
The day started out with some loose warmups as we envisioned the moves for our project “serpentine” which loomed just a birdcall away. Everyone was climbing strong right from the start, feeling light and excited for what the day would bring.
The area we climbed at has some really beautiful crack climbs/boulder problems (they are over 20 ft high!) Some of the girls got to try crack climbing for their first time which was exciting! We sent our project Serpentine, and moved onward to develop some new boulder problems in the “Rocktagon”. Before the day ended I was able to send the v3 highball crack thanks to the encouragement from my friends and the 7 pads beneath me :)
It was a fulfilling and eventful day, and I cannot wait for more! The wednesday crew packed up and with thoughts of four peaks beer on our mind walked our sore and tired bodies back to our cars until next time, which is never soon enough!
