Kletter-gardens


Owl's Head is one of the three places I commonly train on as, as I get ready for Mark to decide what will be the alpine flavor of next month! This 50' crag is a 15-20 minute hike, and it has a dozen routes in the 5.2 - 5.11 range. A typical session might be a few third class laps on the left hand corner (5.2), a lead up the right hand crack system (5.5), and a top rope attempt on "sticky fingers," the thin finger crack in the middle (5.10a). If we are going to head to the Alps I will do the former two in mountain boots.
