went to check this out yesterday on a solo mission. 1/3 of the way up i decided i wasn't comfortable with a single prusik for protection so i backed down. going back with a partner today as there appear to be several good routes on the rock

Man lots of great stuff on this page. Bravecowboy that looks really cool. Jaybro is tearing it up. Me I was psyched to lead a hard 5.10 sport route that is supper slimey right outside of town. Hung a couple of times, but it was good to try something that is hard for me which I haven't done too much since hurting my shoulder in April. Little sore today, but not too bad all things considered. kind of wierd that we got quite a bit of snow a couple of weeks ago and now it is supposed to be almost 90 tomorrow and 80's all week. Gotta love the fall.

Yesterday Prod and I played hooky and took a friend of his for his first ever climb; he took all these pics.

There was an aweful lot of this:

Then it stopped.

Afterwards we went into Boulder Canyon, ended up on the wrong crag, and jumped on a sport route that we thought looked good. Found out later it was a concensus .10d called Wild Cat on Blob Rock. A lot of uphill walking for a 2-3 move crux.

You have to ask yourself, "do you want me as a belayer or a photographer?"

I don't know what these are called, if anything, but I just about climaxed in my man-pris when I hit the leftward hand traverse onsight in my tennies today. This is getting to be a habit.

While many climbers have the goal to get better, I have the goal to get worse more slowly. On that note it was gratifying today to launch up a pitch I first led 25 years ago, and find out I could still do it. Just barely.

Well done, Chiloe. (And I recognize that "worse more slowly" line from our brief chat in an SF gym.)

AWE!SOME photos, y'all!
Bravecowboy, where do you live? Your shots remind me of AZ.

Jaybro... beautiful.

The question is what am I going to NOT climb tomorrow?

*Jefe... please remind me to give you my harness and shoes so I don't end up flying with 'em. AND... Have fun showing Locker a thing or two about climbing.*
