So I have decided to more closely link my flickr and blog together and i'll start blogging more.
This last weekend was cold. Reese, Diane, Ryan and I headed out to western Illinois at about 5AM. We opted to climb at the Sentinel climbing area after setting to anchors and rapping in we opted to climb the Sentinel. The Sentinel is a free stand "chunk" of rock located right near the Mississippi River. The west face is the tallest at about 120 Feet. I led the east face and belayed our party up.
We spent the reset of the day doing TR climbs. I did a mock Aid climb up a 10+ which I gotta say...made me really start to like aid.
