Pat the Montanan/Minnesotan can handle them cold temps. He just has to find a native to help keep him warm, hehe.

Kingsburys, I mentioned to Molly that I wanted to take the kids down there and she said, "I want to go too." She's trying to get off Weds. and Fri. around T-day, so we can spend a few days with y'all.
Hopefully, her work will accommodate, otherwise, it's me and the chitlen--we'll see.

Yeah, I think I saw those pics were from Oct. Still hardcore. I climbed out there a few times in bitter cold...felt like climbing at high(er) altitude. Hands, feet and fingers numb, like banging rubber mallets against rock! Thx. for the pics and TR.

Fargo? That's fairly close to my old hometown...heck of a drive across ol nordak...
----------------------------
Well, the brother is now in the Moab/Creek area...he's been resting a bit due to the circulation issues...hopefully he resolves that and is feeling better soon. Weird thing for a young guy like Pat...
Some recent photos covering his last few days in Vedauwoo and some time in Eldo...

from Pat's email:
"linking practice climb 101 into sidewall, note the ditching of a rope, and leading on a 8.6 half/twin for the next pitch....yoowzaa
its the only time Ive ever untied from a rope while on lead, felt very weird...."
Zip Code
More commentary from Pat:
"Roy finishing up Emerald City, which we linked into Over the Hill, a super fun day for sure!
and over the hills final pitch (5.9) super classic!..."
"...think that's all for now brotherman
cheers.

TK: thanks so much for this thread. it's fabulous to live vicariously through your bro. great pics, and both the climbing(e.g., turning plumb line into a boulder problem) and trip length are keeping my weekend warriorness inspired.

The boys doing their best,
Helpin' an old guy out with his car port project.
(I've been calling it a quonset lately; sounds less trailor trashy)
They were handsomely paid with beers and lunch!
(And I cooked up some of their green bud so I got the labor and the buzz, cool deal...)

It's pretty much done, all shrouded up now and I'm happy with it (no pictures just yet).
I'm still working on the vestibule; I've been entertaining small sessions at the sewing machine, just have to attach it.
The boys were of big help!!!
Here's what was going on the night before they arrived, with my buddy John helping:
