Wow! What a remarkable idea. Just when you thought it had all been invented! How about canisters that contain a charge?

just heard about some adirondack bear that is getting into Bear vaults...
maybe it needs some voltage!

So,my battery powered coffee grinder is OK in the Winds after all! FAs are everywhere in the Winds, if you are willing to hike, and most of the rock is excellent. Like the Sierra Nevada, but better!

Hey Adam- Nice TR. I worked one of those Cathedral ROCs back in something like 1999. I did the Sweet Lady route- stout and steep at the crux. We went in from Dickinson Park and climbed some crazy domes just N of the roadhead on our way in.

Those are some of the best courses at the school.

I also did the first one that went Little Sandy to Deep Lake back in maybe 1994 with Pete Absolon- so much fun to wander around, find perfect granite, and put up climbs. Then to onsight routes like all those on Haystack, Steeple (as a thunderstorm rolled in). And you did mention the fishing...

Good job with the climbing, the instructing, and the great photos.

Thanks Lynne,

The ROC is a good course for sure. I got the RM to start doing one 4 week ROC a summer a few years ago and I like that as well. More travel, kind of like a WMT but only rock. The first one I led we started in the Cathedral Cirque and made our way past Geike, Midsummer Night's Dome, Bonneville, and Nylon. Great climbing and time for independent student group expeditions for the last 3 days to the road head.

I envy you getting to work Deep Lake with Pete back then...good times in the mountains I'm sure!
