All the best in 2014! Wish you to balance it out just right …

Time to pack

It is time to pack now and head back to Australia. I had a wonderful time here in US and was lucky to visit some amazing places. However big big thanks goes to all the amazing people I have met and who made this trip so special.

A brief visit to Lime Kiln Canyon

Our brief visit to Lime Kiln Canyon is a proof that even these days a single photo can still inspire. We changed our plans and visited this lime stone crag after seeing one of the photos from Jim Thornburg in his awesome "Stone Mountains" book.

The place has quite a potential and if you are tired of crack climbing and want to touch a limestone for a change it's definitely worth a visit. Above is Jen Nay at the crux of Mantis (5.12c).
