Yesterday was another day @ the GUNKS . Won't be many more as winter is fast approaching and it's cold in the AM with frozen mud on the approach carriage road. The sun did a good job of warming things up but around 2:00 when it went away it got real cold. Hope to be ICE climbing around this time next month.
So early winter rock climbing - No SUN stay home I say............
GARY - if your reading this bring warm clothes back east this week for your Cyclocross race Sat it will be cold for sure if you want I will bring the gas Guzzeling Eurovan so I can pop the top and turn on HEAT for before + after race comfort. Guess I better get some food also . Who else is going ???
Anyhow back to climbing - Had a great day climbing with Jonathan we did 7 pitches I lead two Jonathan did the rest.
We started with BABY 5.6 JDW did P#1 + I did P#2, next we moved to Arrow 5.8 JDW did P#1 and I got the $$$ pitch#2, them JDW did P#2 of Limelight + P#2 of Three Doves 5.9 ( fantastic route) , we rapped off ate lunch around 3:00 and did one more Route -- Absurdland 5.8+ / 5.9 JDW lead it in fine style . It was hard for a final climb of the day+ the rock was cold as were my feet !!
I'm working to get my back to normal after tweaking it out WED AM and suffering BAD all last week. It's still not right !!
I think I will attempt the Tue night group Mtn bike ride and see how I feel as I hope to be able to do the Friday afternoon CASE Mtn bike ride with Gary + Cliff .
