Video: "Hock's Blessing" (5.6)

I spent an hour at the crag with NCS students and staff. For those that don't know, we have a 200 foot long, 40 foot high crag, about a 15 minute walk from our main building. The crag has between 35-40 routes ranging in difficulty from 5.0 - 5.11a. This afternoon I did 5 laps on "Hock's Blessing" (5.6) and a single lap on "Perry's Corner" (5.6). This is a perfect place to get fit for some alpine climbing, and I have less than I month before I head to the Sierras with Mark. This short video profiles Eli who will run the climbing program for Camp Treetops this summer. The background grunting noise is Dave working on the "Get Some" and "Want Some" link up ... 5.10d which he did complete with no falls today.
