Wouldn't it be cool if we had more climbing posts and less psychodrama on ST?

Roy, Tom lives close to the banana belt, but luckily I live closer. Imagine leaving your snowy-lawned house to drive over the Continental Divide--starting to look grim for dry stone. Then, you drop down into the "snow shadow" of the CD and it is near desert-like (no snow, blue clear skies, etc...) and you are rock-climbing/bouldering in 30-40 degree sun temps in the middle of Winter--very weird.
Living within 20 minutes of dry rock 80% of the time in Winter is one reason that I re-located here from Paradise Valley. There, the town of Livingston was dry (from the chinooks), but the the rock was snowy ('cept for the Allenspur, but shhhhh).
Here, the town is snowy, but the rock is dry.
Holy shite, I'm telling people that Montana is knott a winter wonderland everywhere--watch out locals, here come the hoards.

This last Saturday I wanted some trad OW, so we went to Summit Rock on Skyline Blvd. This route is Tree Surgeon 5.9OW. I pussed out and skipped the beginning wanting to do the upper OW, so I did the adjacent 5.7 and stepped over half way up to do the 5.9OW. Here is the step over and the beginning of the upper OW. #3, #3.5, and #4 camalots.
You can see the adjacent 5.7 bolted route here on the left.
Wrestling with sandstone OW.
It’s a bloody good time!
