Hellgate Climbing

Ohhhhhhh it feels so good to be back on the rocks!  I barely climbed at all last summer and I missed it so much.  I’ve been training lately at Momentum Climbing gym to get some strength and endurance built up and tonight was my first night climbing outside in some time.  Jake Hollander and I went up to Hellgate in between Alta and Snowbird and the cool mountain breeze and grippy limestone felt absolutely amazing.  We only had time to do two routes on the newer section of the area, a 5.10 and a 5.11 and I’m feeling stronger than ever!  I have a number of climbing shoots coming up (including a big one with Getty in late fall) so check back for some good action soon, but here are some pictures from the evening:

Here’s one of Jake packing our stuff up.
