Hanging out in Lake City CO for the morning while on call, hoping to get the afternoon off for some rock climbing. Released at 9am though so headed home to make an attempt at London Spire above Willard,Utah. The trail is 50 to 65 degree climb up continuous boulders. Reminded me of the Tetons. Seven waterfalls on the way up. At 7,000 feet the Spire begins and it's a 2,000 foot 5.8 climb. One of the biggest rock faces in Utah and not well known. I made it 3/4 the way up free climbing and ran out of time since I did not want to work my way down in the dark. At one point a mountain goat was climbing directly above me and knocked a rock off that passed within 20 feet. Love this run/climb and looking forward to trying it again with a rack before snow hits. This took 4 hours and very close to 100% effort. |
