Added 2 new routes: Climb After Slime & You Moss be Kidding Me! on August 6 with Alan Wechsler. The routes are better than the names might suggest...
See #27 in list above.
Added a short easy ice route on Haystack (Kitty Cake) and did another ascent of By Tooth and Claw on Marcy. Hopefully the weather plays nice over the next few weeks for another trip or two--the ice is fat! See trip #30 above.
Mt. Colden's Trap Dike is a well-known feature among hikers, climbers and geologists. It is not, however, the only trap dike in the High Peaks. One of the best kept backcountry secrets is Marcy's Great Chimney, a large vertical trap dike capped with a diagonal capstone.
Finally got on an aesthetic line south of the big Marcy climbs and added Apex Predator on January 5th, 2019. ...and introduced a new friend to the Gorge.
