Trip: Beacon Rawk - The Olde Goode Classic solos

Date: 7/19/2008

Trip Report:
no reason for posting this 'sides i'm drunk and captivated here at seaside w/ the grim glowing horizon outside the glass - feeling like some happy go lucky fucked up apostle w/ the house so quite and the drunks and children asleep - my morning y-day was glorious and everything that it is that words fail to communicate - out at the lot at 6 a.m. - was back home by 11, but in the scant space between did the classics alone - the corner, young warriors, cruising and the first pitch of dods - buzzards by the dozen, rising in frustration when the trains passed - half sun on the event horizon of cloudiness - if only the world could feel in those few hours the grandness i felt then, i can't imagine our globe's little troubles being so godawful - a slight breeze, the solid nubbins of young warriors top pitch, the bit where the feet let go and it's just hanging by your hands and cursing and hauling and whooping when its done - the smoke at the base of the last scramble - the tourons on the trail - the dew on the trees on the hike down to the base in rubber clogs - the sense that this all will be over very soon - i like that the slab pitch on the corner has changed - now a slight handjam adds to the reportoire of skills one can practice on route - finally, dods at the end of the day - jam after jam, and the whole thing up and back to the ground in 10 minutes!

can't wait to be done w/ this beach trip in the orbit of the patriarchs \:\)
