I made it out to Oak Flats for the second time this trip today (3rd time ever — I went back in January as well when I was down). Had a fun time again, but man, this rock is brutal on my fingers. Here’s a picture of me on my new Davy Jones’ Locker project (DJL Project #2). Not the best picture b/c of the sun creeping over the top of the boulder and I had to do it w/ the timer but it’s a crimp climb up an overhanging bulge. Took me about 10 tries to do the first move. It demanded pretty precise footwork for me to stick the second hold. I got close to sticking the second move — would hit it for a second and bust off.
I made good progress on DJL Project #1 which I posted a picture of last week. Made it two moves further so I know I can do the problem. It’s kind of freakin’ me out doing this one by myself, though. It’s overhanging and there’s a big rock right behind it so the higher you go the more likely it feels like you’ll hit the rock on the way down. It would be nice to have a spotter sitting on it.
I also walked around alot more after I was done climbing and am getting a better feel for the lay of the land. Found another one of the climbing areas. I forgot the guide today so don’t know yet what that area was called.
Here’s another picture of the new project:
And a shot of the area:

— I’ll show you plenty of big rocks you can climb to the top of, I’ll even take a picture of you while you’re up there and give you a copy and you can make you’re own motivational poster out of it.
