Climbing at Devils Lake

Gabe and I decided to see how climbing would be in the insanely hot weather on Friday, July 6th. Temps were in the 100's; the rock felt like glass; chalk was sweated off seconds after putting it on your hands during a climb; every climb felt a grade up. We went to the B-Day Rocks and ran some laps on BD Crack and The Twins. We brought extra water and still pounded down 3 liters each. We did have a little breeze that would tease us periodically, but otherwise the air was dead. All-in-all...great day and a good experience. Pictured is Gabe on BD Crack (5.7).
