Worst Case Scenario at Joe's Valley


I went climbing at Joe’s Valley today and had a very short, but good session.  I warmed up in what I thought would be a good location, in the sun, because of the chill from the morning, but the temps rose quickly.  So, I left the area I was in, New Joe’s, and headed to the Left Fork.  After thinking about my couple of outstanding projects I have, I remembered that they all are quite tall, which means they have long falls.  I decided to veer from the plan and try something different.  I thought it would be a good idea to get on a problem I had tried once before in passing.  The climb is called Worst Case Scenario.  A fun V9 that climbs really close to the road and the worst-case scenario would be falling into the road ... tumbling ... semis ... no bueno.  Luckily, that didn’t happen and after a handful of attempts I managed to make my way up the climb before the rain came.
I didn’t realize how much skin climbing in Little Cottonwood took from me and on my final attempt on WCS I wore a small hole through my middle finger on my left hand and decided to call it quits … Satisfied!


Worst Case Scenario
Dominatrix in LLC is a short climb with a great landing, so after my skin cells replenish I will get up canyon to give it my all!  I'll be in touch.
