and figure out how to traverse to the anchor while still removing all the pro. Fun times!
led that in my first season of climbing, 1970.
After nailing my way up with interesting tied off stacks (due to our paltry rack) I looped a sling over a chicken head where the crack ended and clipped in the etrier and stood up.
Then at eye level the knot on the sling unraveled.
The chicken head was immediately mantled and the free climbing commenced.
I've never used a tied sling that wasn't bounce tested since.

With my shoulder pretty much out of commission for climbing I decided to take Jack to the Big Horns for some backcountry skiing and camping. It was really great conditions and great weather for skiing. Apparently the weather every where else around here was crap. So it was very fun.

Mike. sorry you are on IR but seems you made the most of it!
Big mike and everyone else. great stuff!
I got out after work. Rope soloed one of my 5.7's rapped and climbed it again with the drill pack on TR to clean and get myself and gear up where I wanted to be. scrambled accross a tree ledge to an anchor I put in last year. did a bunch of cleaning and trundeling. and got a new climb ready to go :) late tired and dirty...

Told the boss yesterday I was suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency and went to work on the "Proj". What a burly blue collar affair it is turning out to be.
Mike- The Horns have a pile of snow this year. Looks like Jack was having a blast!

Jason that corner looks really nice. Is that Edwards or something new?

Mike-
Definitely not Edwards.
This burlfest starts out #4 and goes bigger from there. No idea how hard it is going to be, hopefully it stays in the 10s. Made it a trip there again this morning. Pure OW fun. I am a weak and not worthy.

Thanks, The Hawk. The amount, quality, and variety of climbing at Sonora Pass from low elevation to high is amazing. And in the middle too.

Pretty cool for a butt shot ^^^^^^
Put up a fun little 5.6 with Leggs. We named it Silly Goose.
Topped the day off with the beautiful and demoralizing hike back to the car.
