Afternoon Climbing; Trippy Rock Incline Village NV 9/19/15

Mid September my dad was in town for the weekend and so naturally my girlfriend (Amanda Mac of Reno NV, Health Science Graduate), my dad (Scott Foster of Las Vegas NV, Professional Engineer) and myself went climbing together, this time just outside of Incline Village up Highway 431 at a sport climbing area known as Trippy Rock.  The rock here is volcanic but also a little slippery and polished at times.  Most of the routes could stand to be cleaned as this area does not see a lot of traffic.  We warmed up on a massive 5.5 crack that I really just soloed up and then belayed Amanda up to me from two chains at the top.  After that I lead the 5.10 climb known as First Dose.  The crux came at about halfway and involved a tenuous slab traverse to a short overhanging roof with the 3rd bolt a couple moves above the roof.  The climb goes from vertical to slab to overhanging with the second half sustained 5.10 overhanging for a total of about 50FT of climbing.  Amanda nearly sent her first 5.10 top rope this day and vowed to return for vengeance, or something like that.
