A little more Moser for y'all from Rocks and Roses (1990), Mikel Vause's excellent collection of essays by women climbers.

Thanks for the kind words. You've inspired me to post a trip report (The Broken Glass, A Tale of Two Climbers) that I wrote a couple years ago upon returning from the City of Rocks. It's the first piece I've written for myself in a long time. I originally called it "An Exorcism" and that title still rings true for me. It's about the things we do and put up with to go climbing....

Welcome Sally.
Gotta tell ya this little poem you wrote has stuck with me and influenced me...
If lava is the blood of the earth
Rock then is the flesh
Not to be bludgeouned into surrender
but caressed
What was your thought with this? Poetic reflection on rock in general, or a statement about clean climbing compared to piton craft?
I took it as both.
For what it is worth, I was reciting that poem not but a couple weeks ago when we were on Freak Show in Kings Canyon doing a 'clean' ascent of that route.
Welcome to the Taco campfire.

When my GF (now wife of near 30 years) and I were moving from Colorado to the Bay Area, Sally gave us this introduction to Valley climbing; I used this thoughtful gift and the yellow Myer's topos as my "go to" guides for our weekend trips to the valley. The information in this guide has aged well, as I'm sure the author has!
