It's actually pretty good time calm waters um It's fun, so I take that back Everyone's on pitch two of the surrealistic pillar I'd never sleep All right, here we are at the top of Surrealistic pillar we're in lovers leap Climbing I just set up my anchor there. I'm about to belay kristen up Sitting on the top you can see all those dikes In the granite, which is pretty sweet indicative of this Area, it's the style of climbing so Pretty awesome climb you can see kind of have those horizontal Grooves in the rock make it pretty easy to climb And we're in back to Tahoe for some mountain biking Top of surrealistic pillar Oh, yeah, you can see we followed up the face Coming coming right here in the crack And then traversed across under the arrette and up to the summit up there.
