Good job, Todd! This is why you are the mayor of Joshua Tree. You have worked hard at climbing, but it wasn't all hard work. Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music.

Doing first ascents is oftentimes a slow process;...thanks to those who both rope gunned for me and led me up many a first ascent, and for those who patiently belayed me for zillions of hours, oftentimes in not perfect weather...while I slowly crawled my way up new route turf;...barking demands and raining down rock on my patient partners.........celebrating the unknown and the spirit of adventure.....and supporting me in many a gamble.......
