No, sadly there was no leading. I wanted mileage and those I climbed with wouldn't be caught dead near any bolts. So a toproper I was. That is Uncle Fester. He's a beast. Very very fun though. There is enough climbing at J-tree for a lifetime obviously - I only got in a smidgeon. Means I must come back for more. I'm working a December trip as I type this. It'll be cold, but hopefully not too cold.....

not caught dead near bolts?
all things being relative, some of the greatest climbs in Jtree are bolted. not exactly "sport" climbs though.
if you limit yourself to trad only you'll be missing out on a lot of fantastic climbing at the monument.
late in December of 2000 is when i met my wife in Hidden Valley. temps were in the mid seventies all week.
maybe a local can give you a more "open" (read WONDERLAND) tour next time :)
sounds like you had a good trip.

I'll do that. I like the scary runouts as much as the next person. It was nice to get on some classics - clearly I feel did not even scratch the surface there. I'd like to lead some stuff definitely. Sounds like December is not such a bad trip time - yay. I'll be there. When I get my dates finalized, I'll let everyone know. Hopefully it doesn't cause the crowds to hide all gnat-like!
:)
Our big crim meetings are in about a week. I'll have to cozy up to the Calif universitites that are hiring..... dreams.

Hey Wes! Or should it be "Wes the Peeky"? Ha ha!
It was great meeting you - I had a fab time. It's been a long time since I've laughed so hard, been myself and yet failed to offend anyone. :) I am hoping to get back out here in Dec at the earliest. I'll let you know.
By the way, I have bestowed upon you a well deserved new nickname which should arrive shortly via messenger....

I am jealous. Wish I was there. You were very discrete. I wouldn't have know if someone hadn't tattled! Have a great time.
