The Wash

We love having the Wash nearby! There are a lot of fun problems of all grades there and it's close! What more could we possibly hope for? We've been going there quite a bit lately so this is a collection of pictures from several different trips to the Wash. Bridget working a cool new V4. It's not in any guides but I think some of us have started referring to it as Tree Hugger due to the branches you encounter as you're topping out.

p.s. She got engaged on the morning of these pictures!!!! Congrats to Tommy and Bridget! :)




Casey coming up on Neanderhole V6. This problem is cool because you climb up out of some boulders that are propped together. I love his big smile on those tiny crimps! :)


Bridget and I (Sheralee) on Bre's Up. A fun V2!



Casey on Tool Monkey V8. Casey is making a little video of his send on this problem and my send of Craig's Traverse that I'll post when it's finished!

Seth starting Mega Marvels V6.

Casey on one of the Roto problems on the Ragnarok. I can't keep track of which one is which! Several of them start on the same holds so I'm not sure which one he was doing this time...

Casey working on a V10. I can't remember the name of this one either! I need to work on learning and memorizing these types of things. I'm pretty sure this boulder is called the Bowling Ball... there are just so many!

Shawn sticking a big move on another problem on the Ragnarok.
Me working Craig's Traverse V5. Sorry for the tilt, it was a funny angle. :)

Joes Valley Bouldering

Last weekend we made a trip to Joes Valley for some bouldering! The weather was beautiful and the climbing was great. Casey tried hundreds of hard problems!....ok ok so it wasn't really hundreds but it was a lot. He tried over twenty problems at least and about half of those were V8's and above. He got super close on all of them. A lot of them will go down next time for sure! Casey working Fingerhut V10 via headlamp after a long day of climbing. The night won't stop him!

So close on Team Effort V8/9. This was at the end of the trip after wearing himself out on everything else. He'll get it easy when he's fresh.




Bryce on Pimpin Jeans V4. Joe's Vally is awesome.

Bridget also working Pimpin Jeans V4.
