Georgetown And Wordfords

After dropping Tim off at the airport I headed back to Donner for a few more days. Did some bouldering and trad climbing with Kyle Bishop. He's been traveling around in his awesome Westy van for quite some time now. We got to exchange dirtbag stories and he provided some valuable information on programming from the road. Something I'll definitely consider now that I know how easy it can be. 

Really fun boulder near Donner Lake

I then headed back to Georgetown to hang out with Sara, Billy and Trixie. I put in a little work on the farm for some spare cash and helped Sara setup a line to practice jugging. She's preparing for climbing the Nose in Yosemite with Wayne; an ambitious and exciting goal. Last night we had a delicious BBQ, a fine way to say goodbye to friends and wonderful California. 



On the way to Nevada, I joined Sara and her friend David for a day of climbing in Woodfords; an expansive sea of rock in a beautiful alpine setting with wonderful temps. Below is David working his way through One of these days, a wonderful 115 foot 5.10b/c crack and a fun little roof in the middle.




I'm now on my way to Burning Man! I have no idea what to expect but I'm excited to join back up with Sebastian (whom I met in South America, helped me acquire a ticket with the help of his girlfriend and invited me to join his camp). The energy about this event is already buzzing and I look forward to exploring all of the art, music and festivities this crazy desert festival has to offer. 

I doubt there will be any cell service there so expect me to check back in next Tuesday (Sept. 6th) with some (hopefully) awesome photos and stories. 

Drink plenty of water and take plenty of showers for me...
