Had two good days of climbing down in Twin Falls this weekend. On Sunday we met a whole host of new friends down at Dierkes lake for some gear and top-roping followed by a few boulders. The crew (8 at one point) was the largest group I have ever climbed with and it was awesome to share the motivation of early season climbing. Climbing was a lonesome activity in AK and we are stoked to get involved with a motivated core of local climbers here in the Big Wood. Can’t wait to get back out there and push ourselves again next weekend!

I have never felt safer, pads and spotters really increase my enjoyment of bouldering!
