chasing waterfalls



A few weeks ago I did a quadruple solo link up on Mt Wilson in Red Rocks: I went up the Warrior (5.11- 7 long pitches) on the Cactus Flower Tower, then descended the gully to the base of the Aeolian Wall and soloed Gift of the Wind Gods (5.10+ 10 pitches), then scrambled up and over the main summit of Mt Wilson and descended the Resolution Arete into Inti Watana (5.10+ like 17 pitches if you count the upper stuff??), then scrambled around and started up Dogma but wound up bailing at the crux and heading left over into a new route that I hadn’t heard about before. I ended up onsight soloing Willy’s Wild Ride (5.10+ 9 pitches) after accessing it via the first bunch of pitches of Dogma. It was actually kind of a great route and I rather enjoyed the crack climbing. At sunset I quested across the South Summit and down the southern scrambling route and made it back to the car roughly 12.5 hours after I started. It was a good adventure but my overall takeaway was that I don’t love scrambling on Mt Wilson… probably my last time messing around like that.






If poker didn’t exist, half of you would be playing scratch-off tickets in a gas station.







Clear prize. Full send. Cold brews. Coming April 30th.
