Dry Tooling Practice at the Local Crag

Some solo dry-tooling practice on a hot, humid summer afternoon in Phoenix, AZ. Route is mostly slabby with crumbly dirt that will try to tempt ya; slightly negative sloping start to vertical to overhanging finish. I don't trust my skill yet to go up and over the small roof on the left quite yet. I need to move to CO already.





The slightly overhanging, slabby route.

The last thing these crampons touched was Rainier snow. Sigh.
Cloudy days like these offer spots of relief from the 110+ degree summer afternoons.


Midway up, just over the bulge in the middle.

Artsy shots for kicks.

The last bit of overhang. There's a 2ft sloping roof to the left that could be fun. Someday.
Yeah, that thing is a beast.


More or less the route from bottom to top, ~25ft or so in length.
I might have missed some overlap in the middle.
