Neat Rock: Standard Route

Sam has wanted to climb this local classic for a coons age now and we finally made it out there. Chasing some of his first trad leads, Sam took the first pitch. I ended up taking the second and we bailed before the roof. I guess I just chickened out even though I have climbed it several times before. Maybe if Sam would have brought a headlamp with him... No use crying over spilled milk right!? Just go back and do it! And we will someday.

We were there to get Sam some practice with multipitch climbing/belaying and we did just that. I believe that was his first time setting up an ATC in guide mode and he got it no problem.
