Columns of the Giants with friends

On the way to Wanderlust I stopped off at the Columns of the Giants for some sport climbing with friends. There was a heavy rain before I got to Sonora Pass and the road was actually closed for a while to clear debris. The streams were still running hard and brown when I went over. We need the water, but it would be nice to get it in a less concentrated manner.

It was a nice surprise to see Ed Mank there along with Dawn, John, Ted, and Zuska. I only got to climb a bit before I had to head off to Wanderlust, but it was fun to get in a bit of steep sport climbing and see friends.

there was a lot of muddy water

  1. We had the pleasure of meeting Ed Mank and Greg Purnell today at Torrent Falls. Quite an inspiration to meet someone who is 75 years old, still totally stoked and cruising up steep 12b.
