I've spent the past three days tramping through Georgia. This post is not just another set of pictures from one of my rock climbing trips, it was my first time guiding a rock climbing trip! I went to Yonah mountain in northern Georgia. The grommits in the pictures are high school freshmen from my church's youth group. You're probably thinking "Ok, that's random Mark," and I would have to agree with you to a certain extent. Basically my dad is involved in planning trips for the youth, and he wanted to do a camping/rock climbing trip, so I got to lead the climbing portion. For my part, I taught the groms how to rock climb up on the mountain, and how to slackline down at camp. It was by far my favorite climbing trip to date, and I didn't even climb a single route. Enjoy
This is Sam, my protégé. This trip was his first encounter with slacklining and he's already trying to cross a creek! serious cajones!
Did I fall a lot? yes, Did I fall in this pic? no, Did I reach the other side? barely, but only by holding the top border of this pic
loading up the Sherpas for the 2000ft ascent straight up
I carried my fare share of gear too
rappelling down after setting the anchors
I spent most of the afternoon belaying
apparently I forgot to flex (haha) sorry ladies:)
