Sleeping on a ledge; climber’s bucket list

RCED Staff — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 16:20:33 +0000

Every climber has a check list of routes or places they would like to visit. In the photo above, we have a climber who’s desire, for the longest time, has been to sleep on a ledge, high up on a muti-pitch route while enjoying a nice meal, the sunset, a sky full of stars and waking up to an even more breath taking sunrishe.

Many of us enjoy trad muti-pitch routes so much we wish we could spend more time on them. Well, if the route is not busy and you can find a cool big ledge on its side, why not give it a shot. Just make sure you are prepared with enought items you will need, such as; a head lamp, food, snacks, emergency blaket or jacket, plenty of water, and if you are not using a tent, pack all your thing in your bag to prevent critters from chewing on your gear. Learn about the animals that live in the area and weather conditions, before you decide on spending the night of course. Build an anchor and make sure you and your partner stay tied in to the master point, even when sleeping, with enough slack to move around the area without falling over.

So what is on your climbers bucket list?

Stay safe.

Terry and Mike going up The Trough at Tahquitz

Terry lead belaying Mike as they work their way up The Trough at Tahquitz rocks in Idyllwild, CA. This is one of the first and easiest routes in the area. It is 400 feet and 4 pitches in the 5.4 range. Route can be done in 3 pitches if you don’t experience much rope drag. As usual, this place get’s very busy on weekends, but nothing stopped them from getting to the summit for a nice 360 view and a half sandwich.

Great job guys!

Weekend trip to Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks

RCED Staff — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 00:14:36 +0000

We are on our way to one of the most anticipated and amazing trips of the year, a weekend trip to Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks. With us we bring a mixed crew of about 30 campers, hikers and climbers. There will be outdoor grilling, cooking, singing, star gazing, camp fire, eating and drinking.

A big part of why we love bringing people together out to the great outdoors is, the given opportunity to step outside the box of our daily routines and step into something awesome.

If you have experienced big wall climbing, you must know this area or will someday. These areas have routes anywhere from 150ft all the way to 800ft, so there is plenty to explore. Lots of trad climbing here, so if you haven’t had the experience but are interested, just take a trad or muti-pitch climbing class with us.

This weekend we will have yet, another great opportunity to meet with old friends, meet new ones and even meet with some of our former students. We could not ask for a better way to see them all again.

Make your next climbing outing a big-wall trip. It will leave you thirty for more. While we head out for our weekend trip to Tahquitz & Suicide Rock we hope you are working your way up to your next adventure.

Climb on and stay safe!
