Jack and I climbed some late season ice on TR and cleaned up the farm. Can't figure out how to rotate the picture on my new computer but it was actually pretty good. Jack first time getting it clean on TR in community cave.

Looks well on its way to being baked out, eh Mike? Time to put away the pointy stuff and dig out the sticky rubber.

Many thanks to some very nice So Cal folks for inviting me to spend the day climbing with them: Roots, Amanda, Cosmiccragman, Mr. E and Justthemaid. A good time was had by all at two Apple Valley crags (apparently not to be named). Beautiful climbing (with just enough loose rock to keep everyone alert) on featured granite!
Blue skies, great temps, donuts, a portable toilet (we didn't use it Locker), and a swarm of killer bees overhead. Someone has some photos, but not me...

Edge, nice pic that shows Umph Slot and Super Squeeze, those are both a fun way to burn lots of calories in a very short distance. Did ya do The Owl and East Slab? Those are both really fun easy leads. Nice!

Hey Mike,
Just got back from Yosemite after 10 days climbing with Jim Donini. He is still an animal, and I'm trashed, after a 6 month layover, from this damn Winter up here in N.H.
Tom ( Big Bird), just took my place, for another 10 days. J.D. is there for 1 month.

Hi Mike,
Mostly just short cragging at Reeds, base of El Cap, Five & Dime, Pat & Jacks, Central Pillar of Frenzy-a really wonderful route etc. Weather was wonderful. It was great fun to get away.
I just visited my home crag up here in N.H. It was packed with climbers since the weather is great here for a change.

Lovers Leap. First time I,ve been there, and was lucky to have someone very familiar with the place to show me around! Man, what a great place!
Only did Deception on Hogsback, and East Crack (i think).
Man, it was nice to get on some longish routes with good rock, good pro, and taller than my 30ft local volcanic choss piles. Gota go back and do more.
