Made a quick trip to estes Creek for a little bouldering after work and gave a tour of the area to a buddy. Didn't get too much climbing in as it was getting dark and a lot of the climbing was wet due to the recent snow.

Todd, why are you guys out on that face to the left of the perfectly good groveling wide crack or chimney?

Probably because Tucker already soloed the wide thing earlier.
Clouding up, cooling down a bit here. Almost good sending temps..need 10 degrees colder, will be good by Sunday anyway. Headed up to the dummy domes right now to "work my proj, brah".

Looks pretty nice over in the Gunks. It is finally getting cold over here high in the 20's but got to play on a little ice today, very little but got out none the less.

I was there! Though sadly I did lose my prescription glasses in the Ryan Camp's bathroom. I took them off and left them behind sitting on top of the toilet paper. Once I did remember them, someone else sadly had collected. (Crossing my fingers that they somehow come back to me.)
I also somehow missed HossJulia... (We did find your campsite Julia but we somehow came in too late to catch you.)
Yet I still had an excellent day. I did bump into a really great old friend I haven't seen for three years. We met up with Bill's friends from Cleveland. We had the best climbing partners along with us in the car. Add on how nice it was to visit the Nomads crew and... Well, nothing gets better.

Can't believe I missed you mrs. pepper ! We had a fun time out at Stirrup. Todd always seems to bring a great posse to cool rock. Didn't even wimp out due to cold and wind. I'm learning that just being there is so awesome .... no matter what Madre Nature is having fun doing on that particular day. :DD

Nice pics Todd and Jaybro. Josh looks nice this time of year. It is below zero as I speak but hope to climb some ice today.

Got a solo in on this after work and then hiked up to a local cave to see if the pillar was touching, not quite.Spearfish creek does some crazy sh*t when it gets below zero. It is completely diverted about halfway down the canyon by the former Homestake mine, but when it gets really cold it surges and was running several feet deep where there is normally no flow this time of year.

I did the wide crack and the finger crack at Berkeley Ironworks, and got up a few 5.11s. I melted off the slopey underclings at the top of the pink one.

Climbed some easy ice and checked on some of the local conditions. It is getting to look a lot like winter around here with 15 inches last night.
