08-05-09: Al's Garage - Climbing on Tuff

In a continued effort to find places Dave hasn’t climbed, and given it was 48 degrees, we ended up going to a crag called Al’s Garage.

According to rockclimbing.com, “Al's Garage is a predominantly sport climbing area on volcanic rock in the Big Springs area near Mammoth Lakes. Routes here tend to be longer and a little stiffer than those in nearby Clark Canyon.”

After a rough ride (yea for the truck!), and a short but steep hike, we found ourselves at the wall without another person within miles. The view from here was quite beautiful.

Unfortunately, we failed to make notes of the climbs we did. We started at a sheer wall that was the cleanest and provided the best routes. As we moved to the rights, things got more (much more) dirty and the climbing less aesthetic. Still, it was a great time!
