It just kinda happened and it was great!
It is soooo great to have Donini as an old friend!
It is also good to have Brokedownclimber and Jan as new friends.
Donini rolled in from an extended trip in the Wind Rivers, Jan had to fly to the U.S. to get a new driver’s license, and Brokedown was willing to get Jan up to speed on climbing.
What’s not to like?
Heidi and I liked Donini dragging us up easy routes.
We all liked meeting new and old friends at City of Rocks.
Much more to follow!

Here's some more incriminating evidence of the oldfartdom that rules!
First clinb of the day for Tuesday afternoon (in the shade). donini was in fine form here. The "Z-Crack" on King on the Throne was donini's first choice for the session at sandbag 5.9.
From the Z-Crack donini moved to Snakes and Ladders at 5.9. We all tried to follow this one with variable success.
Then it was my turn:
And then Heidi tried this one too:
We all had a great time on this rock, but the grading was conservative on these routes. I know; I'm sore!

What’s not to like?
The part about Jan having to travel from Okinawa to the continental US, just to renew her driver's licence? That seems absurd.
Nice report!

Good to see a photo of my good friend Kim Miller,
one of the legends of Utah and Idaho truly, and my dear
friend for many years. Kim truly "rocks" on the rock,
leads 5.12 without much thought about it. He's standing
near Brokedown in that campfire shot with everyone...

Kim, you have always been the most modest of climbers, but I have
watched you lead 5.12, without a whimper. You are a master and my
brother in crime (I am the one now who aspires to... 5.8....)

Ah what an awesome gathering. Looks like a good time was had by all. I would have died to be there figuratively as well as possibly literally. Next time I want to be there. You guys rock!
