Super fun, and exciting.
Our objective was to get across the dyke pitch and try out the grinning weasel but as light as we are we just weren't fast enough.
Were going back tomorrow with and earlier start, and two motivational shots of pure maple syrop.. One shot just didn't cut it yesterday...

Hey, I never claimed I wasn't light. I had my doubts but I gave it a go anyway. I wish I was in better shape but I'm not. I'm working patiently on my comeback. It was good to meet you, Kid. I love your enthusiasm, but you need to work on your grammar and spelling. ;^)

Another lurker drawn out by the photos - Mercy Street is an amazing pitch!
I remember it being a better size than the pillar; the business was hands and fist, none of that thin start or wide finish. My (meager) claim to fame is an uncredited photo in the McLane guidebook. MH and I were always surprised that Kevin couldn't be bothered to get in touch with Matt and ask who was in the photos...
Anyways, to keep the visuals going, here's a WA pass shot from last weekend.

Wow Jay! Cool man! Matt's shot in the guide is what inspired me to put Mercy Street on my mental ticklist! His site is rad! so many cool pics, in fact yours is on there! http://www.matthewbuckle.net/climb/gallery/galleryphoto.php?photoname=sq432_jay_mercistreet
Just for that, I'm gonna post these early ;)

Here's a pic of some gal cranking up Hairpin. This party was just starting p1 when we were climbing p3 and were on p2 by the time we got back down to the base, allowing for the photo.

Jeff M and I discussed a 50th anniversary ascent for this summer, but I hate driving, and Squish is a long way. Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely contact you for a climb or a beer, or better for both, if I ever get back your way.
We finished the FA of a short 8 bolt slab route at Arrow Lake today. As I was clipping the 3rd bolt, my belayer said,"Your right leg is not in the leg loop." Fook me, old age sucks. Anyone else ever do that?

They say I do that a lot, but I... Wait... What did you say? Leg poops? No way. I almost always make it to the toilet.
