Scene of the crime.

Close up.

Happy smiles on the way out!

The kind of day it was weatherwise.

Location of some new routes.

At the base looking up.

Roping up will Max sits and Megan snaps a few pics.

Easy warm up. Food Baby 5.5. Mostly blue skies!

Tying Max in. Weather looking a bit dodgey.

Max near the top. Smile says it all, but weather started pissing.

Bren on Food Baby. Weather clearing a little.

Megan's turn, but started to rain again.

I took a quick run up Soul Sister Thunder 5.10a just as it started pouring.

Snapped this picture as I waited outside of Pacifico for some Nachos for dinner :)

He is going to be a big dude for sure. Jeesh, I am wondering if Megan might hit 6 foot. She is already taller than Brenda and still growing...

Roughster,

Let me buy you 2 new quick draw slings. Those things are from the 80s or early 90s aren't they?

otherwise, good stuff, trippy texture on that rock.

Hell yeah Munge. Those things have seen more mileage than a SouthWest Jet that flies to Vegas! In reality, I probably should change out some of my draws. No joke, some of the biners look like the Cold Shuts at Mt Williamson aka sawed about 1/2 way through.

As for the rock, its pretty classic "Table Rock Side" affair. Chicken heads and embedded cobbles galore. I love the pinches the different runnels make.

Gritty, shitty, but fun as hell. While Table may not be for everyone, honestly, it is some of the best sport climbable rock around IMO.
