Tarbuster, love seeing yer flatirons adventures. And the post-climb toasts, you've got me shooting those too.
This fine thread is aging, though it's good to have around. Might be time soon for a new climbing-photo thread?

Tomorrow's forecast ... highs in the 40s, lots of wind, 100% chance of rain ... feels like the season 'round here might be winding down. It is for me anyway, looking at my schedule for the month ahead.
Recalling sunnier days ...

Everything is frosted over here in Bozeman, but it's looking like it'll be in the mid 50s with 0% chance of precipitation over this way...
The next 3 to 4 months is definitely climbable out here...convincing your partner of that is another story though...The numbers dwindle...

So Tom,
You are saying you live/climb in Montana's banana belt?
Chiloe,
Yes, that Sail Away is a nice route.
I once soloed it to put the gear in, then in fine style I pink pointed it on lead.
Don't ask; the sun does weird things you out there…

Yeah, that's how I always climb -- solo up to put gear in so my lead will be safe!
Leo and I went out there at the end of a lazy day (last Sunday), having just done our "big" climb, North Overhang on Intersection Rock, where neither of us had a hand free to shoot what felt like a most photogenic crux.
So anyway, we went out to the Real Hidden Valley because I'd never done Wild Wind and figured that route, like North Overhang, ought to be short enough for our borrowed rack of 6 cams. Wild Wind went fine although afterwards somebody mentioned that you're supposed to leave the crack and diagonal out right at its top, instead of finishing the more obvious crack and arete like I did. Doh!
Then Sail Away was our wrapup for the day.

Weekend climbing in the Bay Area. Leading a route on Cal Ridge. Kinda fun, gear at the bottom, bolts up higher. All pics taken by a friend of a friend.
Same route.
Boulder start to Platypussy on the Platypus Rock.
I’m trying to lead everything I can get gear on right now. Training for Thanksgiving in Jtree.

Roy,
Bozeman is about an 45 minutes out from what is considered the 'banana belt'. Drive west a bit and you're in the driest part of the state.
It'll be overcast and crappy in Bozeman, and pretty much everyone here is locked into the idea that it's ski season. The problem, at least last year, was that the ski season was a bit of a joke...
I climbed more days last winter than slid on snow...
also on Russ' OW thread...
edit: Nice shots bluering, looking 'in the zone'

It's a good one. They say it was Montana's first 11...
Can you pick the line out?
you can see why they call it the Dogleg Crack...
