Nice Mike!

The 10c is by Urmas and Hunter. They plan to take it to the top.

Nice looking pics all! Plans had us on the east side yearning for ice in The Portal. Unfortunately, Deb hurt her back the night prior to us getting out to the ice. We settled for a casual day in Alabama Hills. The following shots are NOT a "thread hijack" attempt :) sorry for the poor resolution :P

Blair Nicodemus making the initial crux moves on 'My Little Lab Rat' (.10b), a route that Brutus and I put up a few year back....

More fun with Blair (to the left of Blair is a route called 'Stem Cell Research' (.10a), FA. Mooch and Brutus

The Penguins and the A-Hills landscape...

Side note.....those slings you guys found.....was that on or at the top of the route of Coral Rock? An FA or no?

That route looks sweet!

We were actually on South Eagle Beak and the route is most likely a FA called Coral Reef on the south face. The slings were found on the descent near the top of Beagle Creeks on the south west face that was put up in 1982.

We also found an old fuel canister that was rusted out on top of the dome. Cool relics.

Spent the weekend up on Wamello with teenage friend Zev Underwood for some sport yo-yos and his first multi-pitch routes. Nights were a bit brutal camped up there, and Sunday on the South Pillar it was down jackets in the direct sun.

At what moment did Ger get pumped? Did he swear? Was he wearing the right shoes for the climb? Was the drill weighing him down?

Curious.

I went up Jan. 18, it was t-shirt weather. I carried two jackets but they stayed in the pack. Beautiful day! Just me and Syd, she dug it. She especially liked the woodpeckers bangin' away overhead! I got in about 5 routes and called it a day. Just nice to be up there in mid-January!

So.....bottom line, it was a fun climbing day for all and you took photos along the way?

Tough for an old guy to sift through all of the details, ya know. ;)

And for the record......Ger cusses in Dutch.

Hey JR is it raining/snowing up your way yet?
Nothing here. I think they pumped this storm up and I am just curious if it's gonna pan out. They said 40% rain yesterday but we didn't get a drop.

Mike A - that frozen waterfall is gnarly. I saw plenty of old snow fields that that had melted and compacted and were ice rink material.

Here is a shot of some Shuteye training with the kids...
