Tradman so jealous. Looks like you are getting some good stuff in. We got out to lumpy today and got a couple of good pitches in. Jack even came out of retirement. If your still in the hills Jack is going to hills tomorrow for a week and we are going the weekend of the 4th.

Jay Not shure if we can handel the Woo;) I'm still bleeding from the tower... we are headded for the tetons and then Silverton but may head back up this way in a few weeks or so, so don't count us out.

Did a little 60ish foot leaning crack thing above the walk-in camp site at Spaulding Lake. It sucked. I was on the silent partner. There wasn't a convenient anchor point, so I slung a boulder far off the base. The first bit of pro was ok to about a third of the way up, then the pro got shitty. A couple medium cams in pockets that they pretty much fell out of on their own, and I used a nut tool to clean the cracks enough to wiggle in a couple small brassies for the psychic benefit and committed to a sort of irreversible mantle move that put me on the bottom of a runout 20ish foot slab with no pro at all and a bunch of lichen. Oh, and not to forget the angry large black ant nest halfway up. They bite.
Anywho, I made it. Rapped off a dead stump to clean. Went back and had a beer and calmed my shaky nerves. Then we had a bear take out a supposedly bear-proof tub in the middle of the night about 50 feet from out tent. Good times!

Went to check out my fitness on the local crag, which is about a 45 min. approach from my doorstep. (Thats right bishes)
It is a 60' little sandstone crack climb. The crux is about the first 20' or so. Its one of those where you go up, place the first piece, downclimb, shake out, and send.
I always get psyched out on this climb since it always kicks my ass, even though Ive never fallen on it.
today was no exception. I almost puked at the anchor!
Its like .10a. The lead felt like .10d, the tr felt like 5.9....

Very cool tribute for your friend Jeff.
I never met the man, but I could tell by the way his friends talk about him.
What better way to remember a climber.
