Haha, yes Leggs, the lemonators ;-) You & I, let's go climb sometime, bet we'd have a blast.
Ward, yes great climb... I think I had only been climbing for a few years and not leading too hard, but could follow stuff, so I'm wondering what I would think of it now, now that i know i love crack climbing!

I took 8 beginner climber Boy Scouts to Castle Rock State Park, and we climbed Castle Rock. Each scout did a great job climbing and we had a great time. The scouts did a lot of bouldering as well. Six of the scouts completed their climbing merit badge today. Unfortunately when we left late in the day (about 4pm) we must have left one of our climbing ropes there. The rope would have been in a rust colored bag. If you happened to be at castle rock today and found our rope, would you please email me at terbnor@gmail.com.
thanks.

I believe we would have a blast! Too f'ing bad we both live in one of the hottest parts of the country! Even Mt. Lemmon was freaking hot as hell yesterday. OY!

I went climbing yesterday at Tunnel crags, and today at tick rock
with Medusa and a couple of other people. Had a blast and did a bunch of GOOD climbing. Watching Medusa climb 12a is like watching a Vertical ballet.

Ate supper, skipped out on the dishes.
Tr rope soloed 6 classic crack climbs up @ the "Lake Bluffs" over looking the Ocean (Powell Riviera B.C.), feeling the wind die down as the evening commenced, rainbows over the Pacific, and happy birds in the forest.
Back home w/ a can of cold beer, in time to tuck my kids in.
The climbing was: so good.

^^^ great photo Todd, the geometry, composition and tone of those rocks! We are lucky witness to forces slowed down to our brief observations, very cool. Here's a favorite place albeit not today but last Saturday but who's counting in geologic time:
BTW anyone know who was up on Middle Earth that day, I've got closer views:

Took a friend and his son climbing at an area in the central hills. Seems like they liked it.

Noice! Here's a little story, i put it on my fb, so sorry for the repeat..
a little story... been housebound updating my website. Going stir crazy and wanting to climb the walls. Went on long hike in the preserve last night ~ there is a feature i solo up sometimes in the daytime ~ i found it a year ago after being so inspired by a Peter Croft/Lisa Rands video. It's easy enough, but interestingly, always feels 5.0 or 4th class on the way up, but the way down it feels 5.4... last night it felt SO easy on the way up, feeling strong! but wow what a contrast on the way down... at night with a headlamp, sometimes the rock edges would obscure the light, blocking the view of my feet. Therefore I went slightly differently than I went up... let's just say, that got me the adrenaline dose I was looking for~while i felt completely in control~it was still a lot more intense than going up! I've got it completely dialed in now, but I am glad during the going down portion, I could not see how high up i was (though i could see Asia's reflective eyeballs looking up attentively at me from the ground)... Soloing ~ it's a completely different animal!

Good story!
Soloing at night can create surprising results. heh. Routes you have dialed just aren't what you might expect then.. reminds me of a scary moment I once had.

Climbing?...I'm over it. Bowling is the new thing to do. It's cheaper than climbing, safer, more fun, and you don't get so sweaty and dirty.......Climbing.....OUT
Bowling.......IN!

Daphne and I had a very nice long weekend. Two days at the Leap and one up at Luther Rock. I feel like I got a good workout, esp from the trudge up to Luther Rock. We had the place to ourselves for the day, and even after it came into the sun at noon the air temps felt great - not too hot at all.
