This is, Wednesday, isn't it? I drove down to the creek yesterday after work and did some laps on the inverts boulders. It was hot!
I slept down there and did another round as the sun rose. That's my Wyde Wednesday. Though I may head out to the crack house & crackewhore tonight. 5 am start at work tomorrow, though....

Christina I have the dreaded Work Wednesday today. Worse than 5.11 elbows and knees. Hope you find a partner.

I can't suffer in the wide today, but I am suffering with the rising temps in my living room, and roasting laptop on my lap, whilst I endure a painful work conference call in which I must occasionally participate and look at the screen. Have fun out there! Post more pics of your adventures.

i didn't send but mike made it look pretty.

by the way mike i look back on that trip
and i realize that i was a selfish prick
and pretty much it would have been fine
if you clocked me silly with your off-size
canadian paws and said,
"dude. this trip is not all about you."

Okay, so yes the valley is hot, but waking up early helps and it is the summer. Being from the midwest, sometime you have to climb in some heat:) The meadows has a smaller selection of climbs that I have found and I go there to climb slabs:) Maybe suggestions would help to inspire me, please...

Ed!!!! Thank you for the suggestions! I have done all those ones at Olmsted Canyon and don't forget Lord Caffeine. It has that small wide section.

There is also Easy Wind at Mariuolumne and Missing Link is there. That is a cool area.

The water cracks scare me:)

New Ticklist!!!

Where are Fist Fight and The Blocks?
Vicious Thing looks cool.
Holdless Horror
Boa (when I get tough):)



Jay! The Death Crack is sick!!! There is a picture on the older supertopo book of someone lying it back. I did not do this:)

Thanks guys and when are you meeting me in Yosemite to climb?:)

...when are you meeting me in Yosemite to climb?

given the circumstances of this year for me, probably not going to be able until the fall...
