Leader

Climbing season is OPEN!
Beautiful trip to Index today with my good friends Lindsey and Ben.
Sunny day, mid 40-50's.
We did Rogers Corner to Breakfast of Champions.

This climb was a first for me because it was my first trad lead, and the first time I've ever trusted my life to a cam. With sport climbing or even using nuts it's intuitvely easy to see how you are attached to the rock face.
With cams you are now trusting a mechanical object, and your placement of said object to keep you from having a bad day. It's an experience I highly reccomend, and after my first fall, I think my exact words were: "Oh my god, they fucking work"

Thank you Ray Jardine
