The crew had yet another good climbing day in Boone. Conditions were pretty awesome. It was the kind of day you wait for all year. Tilley managed to recruit a whole gaggle of pads so he could climb the "Roof of Death".

Leif and I have been trying to climb "Pinchin' Loaf" lately. Leif punted a few days ago and has since not been able to regain his highpoint. Next time buddy. I managed to send the rig first go of the day.

As I mentioned previously, Tilley became a Boone hardman today and climbed the "Roof of Death". If you know anything about Tilley, he has a one track mind when it comes to a rock climb he thinks he should do. Watching someone climb the "Roof of Death" for the first time is always a trip and there is usually much fanfare involved. After much hemming and hawing over the past several days, Tilley sent the rig. He was definitely psyched and I felt like a proud father. Climbing this boulder problem is a seminal moment for any Boone climber.

Tilley Babe Ruthing his shot. "Im going up there!" He earns + gnar points for a successful Babe Ruth.
