Been climbing every few days - amazing
Lots of stemming because it's all Basalt - breaking off in the jagged tooth like formations leaving lots of multi pitch climbs - inverts - and dihedrials.
There are a few places to go from the North Shore. That said I have only made it to one - Mokeleia which is beautiful. Parking on the road across for a deserted beach there is a 1/2 hour assent up this jungled/bouldered trail - a workout on it's own. The wall itself has about 25 pre-anchored and top roped (thanks to Mike from Climb Aloha) climbs that are all mapped out and rated.
I have found myself obsessed with the 5-10 to 5-11 c's because they are so dynamic. Sometimes pulling through, sometimes making it. I find that if I have to pull through the first few times that by the 3rd time I will get it from start to finish. That feels good, for now.
Love it enough that I get so sucked in being up there that 5 hours pass, it gets dark and I am forced to go home - thinking - I'll come tomorrow and crush that problem. Then I wake up the next day having envisioned massages to relive the self inflicted pain.
I'll climb the next day!
