Was up there today, climbed inside out then went to the books and did some laps. A little breezy with high clouds, but not too bad.

Ah, yeah...Fri is my last shot at some rock climbing before I make the move. Especially considering the skiing isn't going to be as good as first thought....

WML it's possible to tr that climb. Extend the anchor <>ten feet more or less. Lower off to the left down the slab, to the bottom ten or fifteen feet to the left or the start. Watch the end of the rope, you may have to step up a bit. If the weather is good you have to sample the treats on the Albatross. The roofy formation above Ould. Dan

There's only a dusting in the valley this morning, not even a quarter inch. It's curious as presently there are only blue skies everywhere! Dusting of snow will be gone within the hour. I'll be climbing this afternoon, woohoo! :)
