Friction Slabs

All the roads are closed today because of the Ironman Triathlon, and so my exercise will all be on campus.

This morning I did several easy laps on the Trouble Slabs, an 80' friction climb of superb anorthosite that is about 5.2 in difficulty. As you can see from the top, it has spectacular views which include (left to right): Colden, Avalanche Peak, Angel Slide on Wright, and Algonquin.

This afternoon I intend to do some easy bouldering and yoga at the Yurt Boulder, and then later do some laps at the NCS crag. It is a spectacular day, with a much needed cooling trend arriving overnight.
