Be nice if your photographer could get it right as well.. that lead bolting shot is layed over on its side and in reality is much steeper than the photo. look at the hammer. it's laying sideways instead of hanging down. perspective is a bitch to replicate without a real shift lens... more often than not climbing shots taken by the belayer don't do the climb justice. It often looks flat and short compared to real life.

What I didn't climb today is Devils tower which ends a run for jack and I thatcwentvright through the winter. Panned to go today but too tired and exhausted from trying to get our poop in a group to move soon.

Sunday:
New route up a beautiful protruding buttress of steel-gray limestone above a panorama of cityscape-meets-rolling hills basking in the radiant warm colors of late afternoon against an ominous dark sky reeking of impending rain that never arrived.
Sharp pockets, pinches, underclings and the most improbably shelf-like hold known to man make for a nice variety in only 45 feet. Great moves, including a balancey almost-mantelshelf on invisible footholds and a precarious no hands rest just below the final Gung Ho slap for the top. A bit pumpy and creative footwork is a must.
Partner broke a hold on the crux. That upped the grade from mid-5.10 to a bit more engaging low-5.11.

Last Wed. Kor-Ingalls, Castleton Tower.
"The reason it was so scary was that there was only one climber capable of rescuing us, and that was Layton Kor, and he was in Colorado." — Yvon Chouinard, on the first ascent of North American Wall.

on Saturday went to check out areas and approaches and stayed in the shade for a really nice day
second crag
Sunday in the Valley was going to be warmer, there was no cloud cover early so we once again found a crag in the shade
when the Sun finally gained enough altitude to find us we packed it in and went down to the Meadow to hang... quite a crew there. Ran into a couple on holiday from Europe that we had climbed with in Indian Creek last month.
Very mellow and fun weekend. Summer has arrived in the Valley. Time to start thinking about heading to the high country.

Got out with Mary Ann Dornfeld on the first sunny day we've had in weeks along the Front Range and climbed 5 pitches on the Book. Feels good feeling good again!

<<< Is it OK to switch places, Locker?
Morgan and I finished putting up two new first ascents in Pine Creek at "OJ Buttress" this morning, done by 10 AM. There are 4 climbs there now, more pitches to be stacked on a couple of them. This morning we finished
Judgito, aka The Pine Creek Two-step, a 30-meter 5.8 sport route
and White Bronco a 35-meter 5.11b mixed route.
5.11b mixed - it's what's for breakfast!

Needed to reset today, or as Martin put it, "Q-Tip the brain!"
Piney Creek Canyon-WY
The trail and the base of the "Trailside Wall" was under water, but we got a couple in over my lunch "hour".

Isa bailed on me sunday (bum shoulder) so I did a solo recon mission. Some fairly sketchy 4th classing got me to a spot I could rap in and spy on the wide cracks. Reasonably new fixe bolts at the belay possibly 15yrs old or newer?? old rusty iron in the first pod.. this is the closest to a real desert crack I have ever seen in the north east. I would love to know the history of this climb! about 100+ft of verticle to overhanging crack. potentual for a wildly exposed 2nd pitch. a lot of the crack is this size with wider sections,some squeeze chimny and a few possibly #2 and 3 sections? could not get the whole thing in one photo..
