I wonder how many wasted one of the best climbing days of the year to go skiing.
BTW - It should be sunny tomorrow and isn't your throat getting a bit sore?
This might be the best climbing weather for the Country Area of the year! Call in sick! Ditch school! Leave your SO! Savage Gardens! Seawash Calyopso! Big Science! Fifth Force! Steel Monkey! Cunning Stunt! Go get 'em.
Don't delay, leave now!
Just one man's opinion.
Political Threads = Boring
Tvash/KKK/Hugh = Boring
Infinite Bliss = infinitely boring
Water Ice III/IV/V = boring
Hiking up cold mountains = boring
Let's hear some climbing stories! Make 'em up if you have to.
J Gardens is way harder than the Grand but Roman Chimneys finish really improves the Grand. In 2009 you'll be getting hauled up the U-Wall!
LOL Unless you mean the Grand Free!
The third pitch has a flared corner thats quite a bit like Sloe Children with a bit harder but shorter jamming crux. The last pitch has a fun slabby traverse that's probably easier than rated.
Hillary's NH victory got me thinking about all the characters from administrations past. WHo can forget this amazing friend of Bill!
Why do I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and help the oppressed?
Another thing to consider is drive time. If you're gone for 5 days (120 hours) Red Rock is 16hrs more than mid state Calif. If Mid State Ca sucks you can continue on to J Tree. Or like I did once when all of Ca was way too cold, as was Smith go back to Vantage!
Pinnacles fun!
Sweet 5.6 Trad climb! Should get am sun!
This great 5.5 bolted climb is just a few yards to the left.
