Ms. Chief and I climbed the three pitch Morning Glory route (10a, 10d, 10b) on Morning Glory Spire at City of Rocks.
First pitch was wonky and at times insecure.
Second pitch was MEGA cool steep face.
Last pitch was pretty much a botch job to a cool summit.
The weather deteriorated from fresh and invigorating to hand numbing cold with winds to 60k, almost blowing us off the rock!
We froze our asses off and couldn't get down the rap descent quick enough.
Great adventure, the City's high quality, great to be on the rock again!

Monday The Direct Route on Reed's Pinnacle in Yosemite
Lunatic Fringe
Stone Groove
Tuesday Central Pillar of Frenzy
Pee Pillar
Followed on all of them and popped off all of them at least once. We did almost 1,000 feet of crack climbing by the end, 5,9 to 5.10c. At least I did not pull on any gear to get up.

Did the first ascent of this boulder problem: No Quarter, V4?, on a boulder near Greyrock (Poudre Canyon) that I've named the Kevin Landolt Memorial Boulder. In honor of passionate Fort Collins climber Kevin Landolt.

Accumulated many Stars on classic clip-clips in an empty Owens River Gorge with PhylP the last two days. Now it will get crowded, and so we head elseplace.

Stairs. Lots of stairs. Gotta measure the oil in the tanks. The good part is that there's a secret workout on the underside of the stairs. Meh.
You do what you can, right?

That was a sketchy summit.
I almost chopped it down with the edge of my foot.

Isn't there supposed to be crowds and traffic on Memorial Day weekend? Phyl and I found a basically empty ORG today, and I had zero traffic on the way back to SF, including risking a speeding ticket going through the Bay Bridge toll booth. Was Memorial Day cancelled or something?
Over five days we had a cush bivvy spot,
spent four days clipping bolts,
and plugging gear
up crazy fun routes,
taking a rest day to appreciate the noble mule
and to reflect on life.
p.s.: does anyone know why some of my photos look upright in Win8 and sideways on Supertopo?

I went to Black Mountain, a premier SoCal bouldering spot, for the first time!
I hung out at the well-known Boulder Basin area. Here's the ONE pic I have, from my sad old iPhone, courtesy of a dedicated non-climbing photographer!
