Rumney Rocks!

Rumney Rocks is touted as one of the best sport climbing destinations in the U.S. and deservedly so. Though I am not a "sporto" by any stretch of the imagination, I was in need of a confidence boost for my first rock lead of the season; so what better way than to clip some bolts! From Lincoln, Rumney is a little less than 2.5 hours away (not bad for a such a quality venue). The weather was a perfect 50 degrees and being Monday, we had the place to ourselves (almost). Krista kindly belayed me and gave support as I thrutched my way up some face climbs. Climbed two easy routes, both of which were quite fun and a good intro into the season. Very excited about rock climbing this spring/summer; lots of places to explore. The Adirondacks, the Gunks, Katahdin, Cannon Cliff, Cathedral Ledge, and of course my local VT crags.

Love clippin' those bolts!
