Climbing 30:00 [1]
Rock climbing at Vantage. Led a 5.5 (building up there)...
In the afternoon, I took a tumble down the hillside and got a little banged up. Not climbing at all, but I was scrambling off trail to get some privacy. I was on a scree slope when I got spooked by a rattlesnake looking me right in the face. I jumped hard backward, and then I realized there wasn't much ground under me.
No serious injuries, but I got bruised up enough that I decided to skip the rock creek ramble.
