Day 1: Halifax

I arrived by plane in Halifax this morning and met up with Lindsay our Halifax hostess. We went on an Ice cream adventure and made sweet potato tempura before she had to go to class this evening.

Greasy...

Then I sat around reading the halifax bouldering guidebook anxiously waiting for Luke to show up in the Volvo so we could get out on some rock. Luke showed up to me chomping at the bit to get out climbing, so without taking a break after driving here from New Brunswick we turned around and immediately headed out to Chebucto Head with Lindsay's friend greg.

We only had about an hour and a half of daylight left by the time we got out there but we had a good time playing around on the twin sisters of pain boulders. I've been really curious to see how I will fare with the grades in halifax partially just because I have heard they can be pretty stout but also to see what level I am climbing at after recovering from a couple injuries this year.

I was pleased with climbing Tough Sailors V7 relatively quickly, but made absolutely no progress on a V8 around the corner. Really anxious to get to spend a whole day bouldering tomorrow but very concerned with how my skin is going to hold up after a couple days straight of this.
