The exodus from Indian Creek has begun. Liesel, Siebe and myself all left the creek earlier this past week after a month or so long stay. Liesel and I are in Durango for some rest and a much needed break from the relentless cracks.
Our time in the creek was productive, Liesel sent infinity +3 times the cracks she had "sent" ever! She also got a lot of experience on the sharp end of trad climbing. I had hoped to send harder lines in the creek this trip, after a year and a half break from splitters. All the bouldering and sport climbing did pay off but not as much as I'd hoped, my trip highlights were the three towers in a day with Liesel mentioned in a previous post. I also flashed some 11's and had a great time until injuries started piling up near the end. We're psyched for a return trip this fall!
We had some friends visit while we were in the creek. It was wonderful to have a short visit from Mike/Tom... Congratulations on your first crack experience senders! Sean Moon and his laday Abby made a quick visit:) We got to check out some cool classic cars as they drove by our campsite in Castle Valley. It is always great to see Mooner, I don't know what I'll do when they move to ALASKA!!! in August:(
Siebe Vanhee... Legend. Dude sent AIR SWEDIN on his third go! Mad respect... I can't wait to hear about the down time between the creek and Yosemite. Here he is catching some air over small pieces of gear!
Thanks so much to Siebe Vanhee, Ken Anderson, Brent Clements and Hannah for being such great neighbors in Creek Pasture.
Siebe and Ken simul-sending... Ken on 4X4(5.11) and Siebe on Hydaulic Pump(5.12+)
