A brief trip to Frenchman's Cap 22-Apr-2014 At 5:29:15 PM phillipivan

Thanks.

When I started climbing, not that many years ago, Frenchman's Cap was one of the first objectives I set my eyes on. It was satisfying to finally get there; much like my time on the North Wall with Huw late last year.

As an addendum I should note the following: We had had our sights set on The Lorax. That was going to be the prize of our trip, and we had the weather for it. Whilst I've got up a number of 20's, its more or less as hard as I climb. It became obvious rather quickly that Frenchman's is the kind of place where you probably want to keep a few grades in hand. Even following, the traveres, typically with frig all gear, make the going quite serious. I will return when I'm ticking 23s to get on it.
