I started getting calls early Saturday.
The warmer weather (high of 41!) had stirred up some interest for pebble wrestling. Before I knew it there was 6 people and 7 pads on the mission, with possibly more on the way.
With this much motivation, I thought I'd bring them to an area were the problems were a bit taller...
Before I knew it people were spreading out, trying out problems, and opening new lines.
Mojede and Lad showed up for some action too.
Somewhere in the midst of things, a hold broke on a new potential problem, and I got kicked in the face. Could of been worse, but I felt kinda funny for an hour or so, and I now have nice cut under my eye...
self-portrait sometime afterwards...
Giving one of Adam's rigs a go...
I turn around, and what do I see...
Then another line with some knobs is scoped out...
Part two coming soon, but first, a trip to the store...
Cheers,
Tom

This is really cool, Tom. Through your postings, we're watching the exploration of what will likely become a destination-quality area, and we're watching pretty much in real-time. This is SuperTopo at its best.

Thanks bluering and O.D., you guys should consider the bash this summer...

Part 2
It was decided to wait a bit on the top out...
We then opted to go up and check out a finger crack problem, just a bit uphill. On the way there we ran into a nice lil kickthru...
the finger crack was eventually reached...
it's good fun, but it's a bit squeezed in a corridor...
fun gap to jump though...
as the end of the light drew closer, one last problem beckoned us...
I guess thee will be some problems waiting for us next time...until then then...
Cheers,
Tom
p.s. - thanks for the addition Hutch!
