This past weekend was the Horse Pens Triple Crown. My buddy Bobby and I drove up to HP on Friday morning. It was wonderful weather. The temps were nice and the sky was blue. I was in the mood to climb. We played around and set up our tents in an area that another buddy Jay saved for our group.

We had an excellent group this year. It was lacking two core member, Alex and Gracie. But it is hard to feel bad for Alex since he is in Italy crushing it in a new trad crag that he is developing 15 mins from his house. We wound up having nine of us for the event. Saturday was great as usual. We played around on some great warm ups and had a slow go at sends. The party that night was super fun. I wound up talking to Dave at So'ill and buying several of his holds. Their holds are sick. Bobby has been using them for years and he loves them.

On Sunday we climbed for a couple of hours the Bobby and I headed to Stone Fort. I had never been there before. It is a very cool place. We warmed up on some v1s in our approach shoes then headed towards Super Mario. Bobby gave me the top notch tour. There are some nice lines out there. I will be headed back soon.

On Monday we checked out Dayton. It is a newish area in the chatty area. The Dayton roof if probably the most popular area there but there are several satellite boulders all over. With many boulders yet to be established. We walked down and played on a few slabby boulders and did the v2 moves of a v9 by the water. After we walked up to the roof and were blown away by the great problems that it has to offer. We climbed a v2 to the far left of the cave and found a sick v4/5 to play on the rest of the day. We climbed the entire problem but we were unable to top it out. I really wanted it, but now I have a reason to go back.

The next two days it was horrible weather and we only climbed at Urban Rocks. Which is a great gym. I am very excited to head back up to chatty. But I think my next trip out will be to hit up T-Wall.
