Frank on Chapel Pond

Frank on Chapel Pond
We went climbing inteh Adirondaks. The primary feature was the Chapel pond run. An easy (5.2 maybe with one 5.5 pitch) trad 7 pitch climb. It was a relaxing climb on a beautiful day. Here's the route (with 2 people for scale - if you can see them).

Leslie has just completed scaling that boulder (called Stucco Wall). It was pretty high. That's Kyle in the foreground. We finally found Toby.

Sarah's Climbing


This boulder was a bit flaky but we came up with a fun crimper problem. This is not it.
From left to right: Kyle, Paul, Leslie, Jim and Sarah.
At this point Toby was still lost.
For a picture of Paul on the same problem.

Pretty Roots
So we tried climbing at Niagara Glen again. We met with much greater success. And the high humidity kept the rock nice and slimy.

Buffalo Crag View

Buffalo Crag View
After some discussion we decided that it looked like it was clearing up and we could head to the nearby Bufallo Crag for some top-roping. We thought maybe it would be less wet - and we'd made such an effort so far it would be a shame not to get some outdoor climbing in. This is the view more or less from the top of the cliff as we were walking in.

Niagara Glen Storm

Niagara Glen Storm
This is looking out over the ravine in the distance. You can see how dreary it is, but this picture doesn't show the hail that started a short time after we found shelter.

Shelter

Shelter
We ran for shelter under the eaves of the nearest provincial park random building and watched the storm. From foreground to back is Emily, Omar, Jim, and Paul.

Niagara Glen

Niagara Glen
Some friends from Kingston came up and we headed to Niagara Glen for some bouldering Sunday morning. Despite the threatening sky we thought we might get lucky and get some climbing in before the predicted afternoon thunderstorms.
I took exactly two pictures, including this one of Jim spotting Emily on a V-Easy warm up.
The lighting already looks dark, but just after this picture was taken clouds rolled in faster than you can say "gosh that was fast!" It was really something. The sky was a dark and a menacing green, the wind grew violent and the thunder we had heard in the distance was now closer and joined by lightning. The whole transformation took maybe ten seconds.
Given the weather we decided that getting to the top of the cliff via metal staircase might not be safe. So instead of walking up the staircase we ran up.

Tree

Tree
We went climbing at Dog Lake today. The rock was sandstone which was neat. Unfortunately my battery ran out before I got any good climbing pictures (and I forgot my other battery). I found this tree at the top of the rock on the lake side.

RMC Climbing Comp

RMC rock wall
This is the RMC climbing wall. There was a competition there. It was fun - especially the francophone rap they played throughout the day. Except for the brief Eminem stint, then I was concerned for the burning ears of the 7 year olds - due to the uncensored lyrics.
That's Dan in the foreground.
