Aldama - Part III - B12

This past Saturday we had the opportunity to put down another untouched trad climb just outside of Aldama Mexico, here it is!



The picture below is of us finally reaching the starting point of the first pitch. It took us a good 20 minute walk from Suburban to base in a less then ideal hiking area. Sharp desert plants, tons and tons of loose rocks, and straight up hill while in the sun. Needless to say we were glad for a small rest in the shade before we began the accent.





See the main dirt road? Just below that is another dirt road, although not used as much, or as big. Near that is where the Black Suburban that we hiked from is.

Top out pics! It was a great climb that was relentless and had a couple of challenging sections. By the end of the 250 ft. our muscels were exhausted and my finger tips were thrashed. Being the first accent of this climb we named it;

B-12

The name comes from the vitaman supplement I had with me that we took, before we arrived to the climb.


Till the next time, climb hard, be safe, and "thank" the God of creation for the adventures we can have in what He has made!
