Table Rock Climb & Camp
(June 7 - 9, 2002)
In this climb we learned to always carry a climbing guidebook, a compass and lots of extra water.

Description |
| Ahhh,
Saturday morning. Time to tackle 'The Mummy' climb. |
|
| Where
IS the Mummy climb? We get off track and start wandering around Lindville
Gorge. |
|
| We
wander around for the rest of the morning. The terrain was rather treacherous
and I'm amazed none of us got seriously hurt. In this pic I'm climbing
up a narrow gully. We got very muddy & wet. |
|
| Here
is Sarah & Eric "discussing" where to go. |
|
| After
bushwhacking all afternoon we gave up and spent the rest of the day
climbing around Table Rock Mtn. Here I am lead-climbing Skip-to-my-lu.
|
|
| Saturday
night we hung out with a few German tourists. After dinner, we began
making smores. The German girl on the left said: "I once saw a
movie where the American characters started making smores...it was so
gross I didn't believe it. But now I see the Americans do indeed eat
them!" |
|
| On
Sunday we tried finding "The Mummy" again. On the way I saw
this attractive glenn. |
|
| WE
FOUND THE MUMMY!!! Here's Eric on accent. |
|
| We
are on top of The Mummy. Here JoEllen & Sarah are preparing for
the long hike back. |
|
| Nice
view from the top of "The Daddy." |
|
| Lessons:
1) I must focus on remembering the gear-bag before climbing. (I forgot
it twice!) 2) Review my top-rope anchors. (JoEllen didn't like my setup.)
