Hah The Tippler!
Very nice climb Andy.
Was the thread in at the end of the traverse?
Did you do the other climbs in the vicinity? Unprintable is the same grade but seems to get done much less than the Tippler. Maybe wrist breaking jams to inglorious knee-liebacking is not considered "modern"?
Next step: Tippler Direct - not much harder if you can lock off long enough.

A beautiful tribute indeed, Jefe. The colors at that place are amazing (I'm guessing Cochise?).
What I got on was not so colorful
Uhhhhhhh! Still working on leading. Gear placements= good. Use of slings/biner alingment = bad. But the view was nice.

Got out on some slick as snot limestone 2 minutes outside of town with a couple of guys pretty new to outdoor climbing through the climbing club I am the advisor for at the college I work at. It was about 90 degrees and the cruxes are sandbagged and low to the ground. On the plus side I cranked on my bad shoulder and it is only kind of sore. So after climbing only easy stuff and not very much of it I am ready to start climbing more often and harder this fall.

I invited a young, newly married internet acquaintance and her husband out for a late afternoon route. Both are new to Colorado and have limited multi pitch under their belt, so I ran them up Cozyhang on Dome Rock. Fun end to the day.
Soon I'll be passing Dome Rock daily on my commute home.

Jack and I put up a possible new route on Elkhorn Peak which is high in the hills just East of Harney Peak which we are calling Chipmunk Stampede. It was a 400ft 3(5.6,5.7,5.8+) pitch affair ground up with no fixed gear. It is great crack climbing for the whole way which is rare in the Needles.

Looking at this (whodunnit). It's "our" next step before doing Open Book.
But we were racing the rain today. Suicide was 80% chance of rain at 8am, so we were on a mission. Starting at Serpentine and then traversing over to the belay for Clam Chowder, I headed up the second pitch still dry.
Third pitch was wet. Very wet. Then we rapped off in the wetness.......then.....it got nice again? Not sure, because we got beer and relaxed. But it definitely looked like you could still have fun on Suicide and Tahquitz. Maybe it was the beer......

finally got out and did something interesting. have olny been easy soloing or takeing beginners and injured reserve out since the Cleaver fell down. 9ish? 1st pitch to a scramble ledge with a great looking 2nd pitch to be had. rope solo. Not even my really new 9.8. this is the sort of new 10.2 and it seemed to slip through the gri gri a lot while rope soloing. lot feeling the love with the system...

I didn't climb today, but we had a hike planned with my daughter and her boyfriend. Imagine our surprise when we opened the door to greet them and standing in the doorway was our son Max, who had just moved into an apartment in Amherst, Mass yesterday and decided to fly out and surprise us today! Super psyched; we hadn't seen him since New Years.
We took Max, our daughter Meaghan, and her boyfriend Matt to see our new (to us) house under contract, then drive a couple miles from there to hike Forsythe Canyon.

Nothing like a pair of my size 44 approach shoes on her size 39 feet to ease the exit. Ha! She sure is tough!
