The Technician

Smoke Bluffs, Squamish, BC, Canada;

It was a beautiful fall day. A bit crisp. The temps were perfect for sending and I was sans partner.

I called Brownie because I knew he was working on The Technician and took my gear just in case.

When I arrived Kieran was just about to jump on it, so I ran around and set up a rope.

Going for the crimp on The Technician 12b

Grant and Hannah tr'd it again while I chilled with Brownie.

I didn't bring my jugs, but i always have my grigri and a prussic, and Hannah decided to lead it, so I climbed my only "pitch" of the day..

Push!

If you look closely at her left foot, you will notice her toe literally just blew.

Close! Nice try Hannah!!

Kieran had another go

But he was having a high gravity day and kept blowing off here:

After we went bouldering and it was freezing in the forest! :)
