Norris/Obed

My god what a beautiful place Lake Norris is. The clean air matches so well with the clean water (reportedly 96% pure) and reinvigorates you in a way that only pure things can. Its a release, to be able to go out into the wilderness and after this first month of almost nonstop work and fitness I could appreciate it at it's fullest. The climbing in Obed was no different, pure. The granite and sandstone was slightly damp from recent rains but we more than enjoyed the area with its towering cliffs, powerful rivers and deep long ravines. I'm grateful to the friends and family of friends who housed us for the week, it was more than just a time to remember; it was a landmark in my mind.
