Trip Report
Two Ladies and a Vampire

Last year my ex tried The Vampire at Tahquitz with her friend Linda. How often do you see two hot blondes cranking out 5.11a trad on the West Face Bulge?

Nath was too short to pull the 11a bouldery move and had to climb the 10d slab variation.

Edited so it can't be interpreted it was a redpoint (even though it was clear in the full trip report) because inevitably some internet wanker has to nitpick instead of be happy for someone else's best efforts...

Good job to the ladies. I'm just happy to get up the approach trail without a take.

Really, I shouldn't get any credit. All I did was snap a few pictures, edit, and post it. It was all Nathalie and Linda's adventure, really.
