Sweet ^^^ looks like the rock at the fortress, or ravens. Any hints as to locale? And your description above, El jefe, about the totally "valid" 5.9 in big pine gully is great... just love that descriptor "valid". Still tons of room for nice routes, even at windy point, can't wait to check it out

In a well-needed break from today's political dramatics and other life woes, we climbed at the Old Road Area of Oak Flat in Arizona today (yesterday)!

Hey MattB-
I picked up that term "valid" from a friend...we usually use it for routes or problems that could be, or have been overlooked for being short or chossy, or whatever.
I named the route "Sportin' Wood" and it's a good warm up for a few of the 5.10s nearby.
Your guess is warm....
If you're in Tucson and ever want to get out, you can (try to) pm me.

Got spanked in the am... tail between the legs, flash pump, no gear, lots of wimpering and a pathetic retrete. did the 1st 2 pitches of this at the end of the day after waiting a long time to get on it. Seems the chimny after the overlap crux was way harder than normal and kept everyone on their toes. had to bail before finishing P3 as it was getting dark and we had a long road to drive...

Joe tries out my rehabilitation program for a broken collar bone:
Six weeks: some mellow boulders
Seven weeks: top roping
Eight weeks: some mellow leads
Nine weeks: step up your game:
We've done about 60 different routes in the past couple weeks

Two first ascents and a rope on a third in the last two days.
7 new routes in the area, and 2 more coming - for a total of 9 - in the last two months.
More cleaning than climbing - but sending.

Last shot is well done, Constine.
Me, I finally got out yesterday and clawed up a 5.10, barely...haven't really climbed in a year or so.
