Thanksgiving week post

Temps have been a bit warm/wet in the 24060 the past few weeks considering the season, so the crew has made a few trips down to the classic Piedmont field, Moore's Wall.  The giant north facing crag casts a shadow that's been keeping it crisp amongst the boulders.  If you have never been, check out the awesome LT11 video below.

Having been a few years since we last visited, I wanted to check out a few new lines that have gone up ...
Vandalized (v6/7) - nice addition to an awesome block.
Rouge Wave (v8) - stellar!
Super Tsunami (v10) - awesome climbing...one to come back for
Pit Stain (v8ish) - also killer, a bit more "heady" than hard.
The Messer (v7) - cryptic...another one for the next trip
Blinded by the hype (v7/8) -  was wet...

Hopefully, it will get cool in SWVA soon...lots to do, and never enough time.

Young Dave has returned to climbing after straining his hammy.  After a brief stay in Banff to recover, word is he has headed back to the desert...

Enjoy 2 vids from Moore's Wall:

Love the blog Adam! Looks like our climbing days have mirrored yours...weve been at Moores the last 3 sat. in a row...... Why did it take me 16months of living in Va before I made it out there? Its so good and so close!
