Anna working the rail |
Instead of doing an area profile of each area in town, which would take a whole lot of time and work and people to photograph - I'm going to do a 'best of' list. This is the kind of project that will probably take several seasons to cover, but, it gives me something fun to constantly have on the back burner.
For the first installment, I'm going with one of my favourite climbs - Knobulator (direct) 5.9
Strechin' out mid route |
Located in the Destruction Zone at Higgy land, it's the first climb you come to through the short trail from the parking spot.
This was the first route I ever top-roped, lead, and free soloed. It's also the route that many of my friends, and likely many other local climbers discovered as their first sport climb. The rock quality is bomber, the opening moves follow a pure sequence, and the direct route through the roof is exposed and mega fun.
