Smoke Bluffs, The Apron, And Royal Robbins..




On thursday Dave Jones, came up to meet me for some fun climbing. We met at the smoke bluffs, and went to Burgers, and Fries area. We did a few different climbs. After that we went to the Brew Pub, for Burgers and beer. on Friday we met up and went to the Bluffs again to be interviewed, and filmed climbing. It was fun to do that and get the chance to talk about what we liked about climbing, and what it meant to us to do that. We also explained what we were doing, and how we were doing it. It was a good experience, and it will be even better to see the dvd, when it is produced. After all that we decided to head for a quick snack and then it was up to Banana Peel, on the Apron. We completed the climb and made it back down to the car by 6:45pm, and then it was off to the Eagle Eye Theater for some climbing movies. While we were on route, there were five soloists that climbed past us. Lots of climbers were up there. The grandfather, of modern climbing Royal Robbins, did a great presentation of his climbs and what he has accomplished in his life. He wrote a book, I picked one up and he signed it, I got a picture with him. It was an awesome day, great climbing, and it was great to be up there with my good buddy Dave...
