VanVoorst > Day 4 - J-Tree:
Real Hidden Valley & Indian Cove.
I did a 5.6** called Fote Hog. I broke it into two pitches due to rope drag. The first pitch included a huge roof, that I had some trouble with. There were bats behind the crack in the block that you had to pull to go over the roof. You could hear them making chirping sounds and moving around. Then just past my first piece of gear on the second pitch, my feet slipped off the wall, with no real hand holds to hold me. There was a ledge just below, so I turned in mid-air to spot my landing. Unfortunately, there was a gap between the ledge and the rock. My foot went into it and scrapped up my ankle bone (luckily I didn't break anything). Justin had to finish the second pitch.
