lancegranite Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) 5/2/05, 1600 HRS, SOUTH FORK OF PINE CREEK Hiking down the wash, Bomber and me run into two fellows deep in conversation, the faithful guidebook in hand.... Guy: "hey, is this Olive Oil?" Me: "no, it's on the other side of that mountain" Guy: "oh...(looks at guidebook)...are you sure?" Me: "yes, don't worry thou, the route in front of you, Cat in the Hat is very nice." Guy: "where?" Me : "you see all those people up there? well...(route description deleted)...that's Cat in the Hat." Guy: "how hard is it?" Me: "5.6" Guy: "hmmm, I think we want to do Olive Oil" (thoughtful pause, sounds of water, birds chirping) Guy: "so...where are we?" Authors note: This was a lot like my first trip to red rocks, way too hot, getting lost and losing gear to Cat in the Hat...all cherished memories.

catbirdseat Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Climbing is never quite as exciting as when you were first starting out, or is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
