Projects...

It was a cold, quite day in Red Feather on Monday. Conditions were great, though the topouts were somewhat snowy and required maintenance.


Jamie came within two moves of sending the Dracula Project, which starts The Vampire and finishes on the far left of the boulder. There is another project that starts on The Vampire but busts out right to the arete and does a few hard moves to a mantle. I've decided, just now, to call this the Bram Stoker Project. Something tells me Chuck would approve. Of the name, that is. Jamie also found and cleaned a project 75 yards or so away from the Toucan boulder.


Yes, it is short. Yes, it is sharp. Yes, it is hard.

 
The crux/only move is a double clutch dyno/surge maneuver from two poor crimps to a mostly flat lip. Jamie was able to hit the lip a couple times but controlling the swing proved to be too difficult for the end of the day. Not a King Line by any means, but when completed the Lemonhead Project will be a nice, hard addition to the Ceremonies.
