I headed up Fergusen Canyon this evening after work with Blake Royall. He had never been up there before so we decided it would be fun to give Extreme Unction a shot (as you will probably see over the course of the summer - I have a few fail safe places I climb just like I do with skiing). Brock (he is Blake's brother) m
et us up there a little later with a couple young girls he brought with him. As is expected on a first attempt up Unction, Blake struggled a bit with some of the more technical moves. I have also noticed that as people do this they tend to totally wipe themselves out and have a hard time at the crux because they have little strength left. In order to give Blake a rest, I then ascended the route. I got a little tired from several attempts of the bump move at the roof and had a hard time finishing, but I did make it. We r
an into a couple people Brock knew up there and we let them take a stab at the climb. Brock then ascended the climb and did so with ease. As it was getting dark we gave the girls he brought a shot. Brock belayed and basically just pulled them up the rock. Hey, I am sure they feel good about their "rock climbing" experience.
