I went back to this place again today W/ Isabella. The light was almost the same as yesterday evening.. Killer. We climbed one of our super awesom climbs, Mad Woman 5.11a/b to get to our project and we worked it hard. Sore all over but it is equiped and Isa feels ready for the send... I will be hard pressed to follow this one....

Mr. JOEY.F, depicted below, not only let me crash at one of the best campsites in the valley over three days of great weather, but also joined me for a great climbing day at Five and Dime. Filled in the other days I had up there (Joe was stuck at work) with Hanta Virus bouldering (with valley locals Stu (sp?) and Amanda kindly showing me the non-ropes), and Apron routes and Short Circuit crack and chimney with pick-up partner Peter. Glad to run into sullly and Daphne, both back at it off the Injured Reserve List, and rhyang.

Back to Auburn with the Wife and Son. I rebolted Community Chest on lead after the route was vandalized during the shutdown. Thanks ASCA for providing the bolts and hangers to fix the route! They also provided bolts for restoring the 10b on the Scale Wall that was stripped by parties unknown and that route is now back up and running.
The last few weekends at Auburn have been fantastic. Cool vibe, people having fun, perfect weather. Too bad its raining now!
I am in for knee surgery this week so will be off the feet for at least 2 weeks, but I am looking forward to getting back out there ASAP!

It will be arthroscopic Medial Meniscus tear surgery. Off feet for 2 weeks, crutches for 4 more weeks. 6 month full recovery. I'm hoping to be hobbling around at the crag after the initial 2 weeks. Not necessarily climbing but I plan on being up there!

Not today, but yesterday I went into Whitehorse ledge to find virtually every route wet or seeping except for the one we wanted to get on, the Hotter Than Hell to Inferno link-up. Perfectly cool Fall temps and colors.
I hadn't done these routes in 25+ years, and lucky me I got the sharp end on all four pitches.
I used to camp off an old logging road in a quiet spot in the middle of pristine forest somewhere around the two small sand traps in this pic. Restore the forest! Burn the McMansions!!!

Barely made a dent today. Up above Washoe Boulders, picked one that was maybe 35ft high and did my first top-rope-solo. Sure was interesting milking a couple prusiks up the rope one-handed. Guess it would have gone 5.4, but then again I've never soloed this way. Felt like 5.7.

Great thread!
Hello everyone, I'm new to the TACO. I climbed a few sand dunes while running on the beach in South Florida this morning to avoid the brutal surf pounding the shore:) remnants of SANDY that passed closely yesterday and last night.

Thanks for the advice. I do have a grigri, and a silent partner. Just didn't have them with me, being the toss-in-the-truck-bag.
Took a friend to Dinosaur Rock today. Climbed Saurons Nest, Evolution of Man, and the Gash on lead. Brought my friend up as a second, which was as good as he's been able to do outside so far, being relatively new.
And to the black Mazda that went off the road up where the culvert ends... you left some parts behind and your car's probably totaled. That was couple a big-arse rocks you bounced over and it's going to be more than your head that hurts when you sober up dude! Wish I'd got THAT on video!
