No climbing today, but, If i can get Donini to lead me up some easy slab
when he comes to Vegas the first week in November, I should be ready with my bad shoulder to do a little Tripod climbing.
Other than that, it will be about Jan or Feb before I can do some
moderate climbing.
I'm going completely out of my mind not being able to climb!!!

Barely made a dent today. Up above Washoe Boulders, picked one that was maybe 35ft high and did my first top-rope-solo. Sure was interesting milking a couple prusiks up the rope one-handed. Guess it would have gone 5.4, but then again I've never soloed this way. Felt like 5.7.

Great thread!
Hello everyone, I'm new to the TACO. I climbed a few sand dunes while running on the beach in South Florida this morning to avoid the brutal surf pounding the shore:) remnants of SANDY that passed closely yesterday and last night.

Thanks for the advice. I do have a grigri, and a silent partner. Just didn't have them with me, being the toss-in-the-truck-bag.
Took a friend to Dinosaur Rock today. Climbed Saurons Nest, Evolution of Man, and the Gash on lead. Brought my friend up as a second, which was as good as he's been able to do outside so far, being relatively new.
And to the black Mazda that went off the road up where the culvert ends... you left some parts behind and your car's probably totaled. That was couple a big-arse rocks you bounced over and it's going to be more than your head that hurts when you sober up dude! Wish I'd got THAT on video!

Did some mountain biking on M Hill in Rapid City on some really nice trails. It nice to get down there when everything in the northern hills is covered with snow. Then went bouldering on the Vegan Boulder in the Meat Packing Plant Boulders The kids did some climbing on some local art.

It's been climbed but not much by folks with the know how and motivation to put up routs that need bolts and trundle loose boulders..
