We got in two solid days of great climbing with Semi sketchy weather ( Hot + Sweaty Sat. ) . We did a link up variation route called Bitchy Virgin - neither of us had ever done the route it was great. Then I lead Wonderland 5.8- and fell at the Bolt - Big screamer down but nice + steep so clean fall + nothing to hit. Double 9mm ropes stretch a lot - but they are designed to do that.
Sunday was close to a total rain out - But it cleared out and we got a full climbing day even after retreating from 1/2 way up our first climb - when light rain + wierd FOG rolled in from Below ?? Later I got to lead the $$$ pitch on Arrow 5.8 it has a cool roof and several thin moves on a beautiful white slab of GUNKS perfect rock - what a blast. Funny how getting scarred can be so much FUN.
We did 9 pitches Sat and 6 pitches Sunday.
Gary you need to go climbing outdoors with me next time your back EAST and have some free time.

Dad,
Looks cool, but I am going to stick to bikes instead of heights for the time being...
Great pictures..
Gary
