Bouldering, Roping, and First Ascents

Yesterday was a very eventful day in my books.  Got a first ascent on a dyno route that I have been looking at for a while, its about 15 feet tall with a 4 foot dyno from a ledge that is only a pad and a half pad for your fingers with no footing for the push off, very pleased with the accomplishment.

In other news there was also a lot of eventful climbing, over at the bridge base of the palmetto trail out in Peak.  Got two of my buddies out there with me, we put up some ropes and climbed on some routes one of them being pretty intense worthy of a trip back out there.

And in case you didn't know the Carolina Crush Competition is happening on Saturday February 18, starting at 9:30 AM registration, the competition will run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and then the finals will be at 3:30 PM.  If you are a USC student/faculty/staff it is $5, but if you aren't affiliated with USC then you will have to pay a $10 guest entrance fee.  Spectators may spectate for free.  Climbers must be 18 years or older.  Registration opened on January 16.  To make reservations, stop by the Outdoor Recreation Office or you can call their number, 803-576-9397.  The competition fills up fast so if you haven't already registered now would be the time!  Hope to see you there!
