Thanks Ed!
I'm glad to see someone got some climbing in despite the weather!
I'm looking forward to my next trip to the Valley when I'm not so burdened down with responsibility.

Flanders made us do it. Him, and Billy Russell. Yeah, that's it. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Good news. That is a TR I identify with on many levels.

BDC, looking forward to your return to climbing... right now it looks like your recovery might match the fall season, which is better as the temps in the Valley are more summer like than our May soirée (well, ok, it wasn't evening climbing, but late hour, for sure).
SteveW, my back is recovering well, now just stiff, I'm back to climbing and getting stronger, and hopefully I can continue without injuring anything else, or re-injuring the back. Starting to think about a trip to the continental divide this summer...
Thanks all for your encouragement in writing meagre trip reports, as recovery efforts always start out with limited goals, hopefully to build to more interesting adventures... I'll have some more reports soon...

Save your money and get Terazosin!!!!
Muy cheaper!!!! (A blood pressure med too).
Glad to hear the back is coming along. Does your
trip mean the boogaloo? Or Colorado? Whoo hoo!!!
I'm not sure I'll get in much this summer. Summer semester
is a bear this year. Whew! Back to homework!

not using Flowmax yet... but it seems evertime I turn around it's either to pee or I see one of my partners doing so.... how did our bladders shrink?
As for the summer, perhaps I should make a trip to Colorado, as I have never climbed in that state before...

Ed-
You really should consider a Colorado trip. Early Fall is perfect for the Lumpy Ridge. Eldorado is probably still going to be pretty hot. If Colorado is too hot, it's only a 2 hour drive up to Vedauwoo for a backup plan.
I should be back to some easy climbing in just a few more weeks--as soon as the ribs are a little loss sore.

And one more.
Rik, Roger and Steve, in another of our fascinating discussions of Valley historiography in the cafeteria. The cool rainy weather encouraged such things.
Contrary to appearances, Rik was not about to brain Roger with a salt shaker.
I really enjoyed Rik's story of the second free ascent of the left side of Hourglass, and hope he'll post it sometime on one of the Hourglass threads.

These guys were getting better and better with every climb. LOL
When I see the name Rik Rieder I can only think of 'A Mother's Lament.'
A proud friction test piece of Rieder's for me...done before the intermediate anchors and split pitches, autumn of '75. I really didn't know what I was getting into...pretty much full pitches with one piece of natural pro...E.B's on what seemed like glass...
