End of Trip!

We're ending the trip! That's our big news! We've decided to head back to Kitchener-Waterloo, where we've decided to buy a vacant lot and build ourselves a house! So, for now at least - this is the end of this blog. It'll stay up, but in the meantime, you can check out our new blog at

New River Gorge

After climbing at Seneca Rocks for a week or so, we headed a couple hours south, to Summersville Lake and the New River Gorge climbing areas near Fayetteville, West Virginia. The rock is a very hard type of sandstone, making for good friction and a wide variety of face climbs and crack climbs. There was one particular crack climb called New Yosemite that we had both tried on previous trips to "The New", but neither of us had been able to complete the route without resting on the rope partway. This time we were stronger and more experienced, and both redpointed the route. Check it out in the video below!

Throughout the rest of our two weeks we climbed at several of the different crags, and took very few pictures! Here are a few:
