Anyone get out to Woodfords today?
If so, how were the temp inversion effects? Especially at the Fortress area. I'm thinking of going tomorrow.

Lucky dogs!
Looks like it was a beautiful day down there. Thanks for posting up.
How you'd guys make out on Walking Jack?
On sight? Red point? Hanging jack? :)

On the Perfect Lieback, it's always an issue for me: Where to put that first piece! Among other things, running it out can mean you REALLY REALLY trust your belayer. :)
That five foot section on Walking Jack has always humbled me. Maybe this season will be different, haha.
(If any of you guys rolling through the Carson Valley try out Sunny Delight at CV Sentinel, please let me know on the grade and rating, I'm looking for a consensus. So far it's 5.10 (not 5.9 afterall) and more than comparable in star quality to Dinosaur Rock's Color Me Gone. Sorry, Ron, lol. )

wml, yes, that flaring and frustrating (for me) crack section.
(Though I'd like to add I have a partner who not only floats it, but pauses in the middle of it after placing pro to beta me. Basterd, lol!)
