Any climbing gyms near by you can visit, meet some peeps, and see if you can join them for an outing? Give a call into IME up in North Conway NH they have a climbing school and I’m sure they know or have groups you can join in your neck of the woods.

Me personally I would use a grigri and pull slack to tend.

Cory, What rope are you using and what is your anchor point? Do you have an abrasion pad? I bet there are tons ofrock heads near you given all the granite in the greater Northeast! And I bet you could find a ragtag, weekend climb crowd based out of: Rock Climb Fairfield.

So Ive been thinking of solo top roping some large boulders/small cliffs near my house. My idea is to use some friction device that will easily take up slack and also catch me if I slip/fall (duh). I've done very little tree SRT but tons of tree DdRT/MRS with a zig zag. So I experimented and put...

Some fish tenders and a seiner out front as we were heading out.

Bears are intrigued by Jake Brakes. A big black bear ran across the road and up a driveway yesterday. When I clicked the Jake on, he stopped, stood up, and looked over his shoulder at me from the driveway. Must not have ever heard that before.

Hot and dusty. There is a truck and tractor somewhere in Thayer dust storm. Made me wonder what fighting in North Africa was like. Much hotter, but no humidity, just a lot of tank rounds shooting back and forth.

Warming trend.
