Nice video from one off my favorite local crags,

[SA Chris]

From Last Monday's day out.

Nice. Looks like a stunningly beautiful spot. WTF did you do to yourself last time though? Looks so grim.

It's an incredible location, but some gnarly talus, so falls have to be well padded and spotted. 

It wasn't actually me, but my friend who's been developing the area fell on the opening move of a problem he had already done, he fell maybe 2 feet and caught his forearm just below his elbow.  He was really psyched to show me the area, and it was our 3rd problem when he fell.  We patched it up as best we could and drove to the nearest open urgent care center where he ended up with a bunch of stitches and a nice scar.

Is it Basalt?

Is it Basalt?

Nah.  We call it Chugach Choss, or something similar.  It's some form of sedimentary crap that we have alot of around Anchorage.  The only reason the rock in this particular area is good is due to the glacial compression and glacial carving of the rock.  Makes for really interesting climbing though as there's almost no friction, probably similar to slate.  I don't know enough geology to give better specifics.  Sorry.

He's lining himself up as the new Bill Shakespeare - innit.

When you expect nothing, and end up standing on the top, it is one giant wtf, and a big question mark hangs out above your head for all kinds of days and nights.
