For 4th of July 2019 I went out and had an awesome day of climbing with a few really good friends from Mesa Rim; Sam Hill, Data Analyst of Reno, NV, Weston Bone, Landscaper of... Van, and Julie Royal, Youth Mountain of South Lake Tahoe, and of course no day would be complete without Amanda! We got an early start and drove out, the last few miles of Bowman Lake road are actually pretty rough now that I've seen them, I would recommend having dedicated 4x4. We went to the specific spot called Larry Land which actually sits below the dam that is Bowman Lake. It's a really incredible and ominous back drop with rebar, concrete, do no enter signs, and extreme danger of sudden flooding at any time signs. Sam lead Mr. Nice Guy 10-, 6bolts 45', it was actually pretty stiff near the top, involving a committing overhanging mantle into a thin slab section. I top roped the route with my infamous cowboy hat but the rest of the day was 11 and up. Weston sent Hello Larry 11, 8bolts 70'. Later that day we tried to hike out to the Scottland wall but we just could not find it for the life of us. The day did end with some excitement however, we got to watch Sam Jumar up a fixed line after 12hours of listening to Sam talk about how he really wanted to Jumar a rope...?
