Today Jay and Lee pen a love letter to the crown jewel of New England sport climbing - Waimea! The flagship crag of Rumney offers a climbing experience like no other, and today the guys break down why it is both so loved and feared. They’ll share stories about their own histories on the crag, and reflect on how they’ve improved as climbers through their experiences on the Waimea routes. Plus, they’ll drop some beta and words of encouragement to get you ready for the next time you approach this fantastic crashing wave of a crag.  Join us over on the First Ascent Patreon!
