Heal up soon. Talking to a buddy of mine who is a ranger in Zion in the summer about making it down to your neck of the woods sometime soon.

Saturday was beautiful in the Valley. Bluebird day and the rains held off while Cleo and I climbed Super Slide.

Very fun, except for the part where I had to climb the last pitch twice so that I could undo a knot in the rope we didn't catch before it went up to the rap rings.

D'oh! At least I got to do my first pendulum. . .

Somebody fell 50 feet at superslide yesterday (Saturday) and broke both ankles I think.

Belaying failure.

The party right after you?

I redpointed Quaker State at Moore's Wall. It was my first lead attempt on the route after taking a 50-footer on it last year. Woohoo!

Met my friend Largo at the local rock gym on this rainy Sunday.

We started climbing together 40 years ago and spending time with him (even on plastic) is as much fun as ever.

Great job on Mr. Witty Chinchen! That is a mega classic. I think the rock over move to that crimper side-pull is tricky hard and the last move, virtually handless, is such a climactic finish.

WBraun - yes, Phil_B and I were on Superslide Sat and there was a party on it when we left. The leader (a guy) was belaying the second (a woman) up P2 as we were rapping off. Later we saw him at the P3 top anchor, around 5:30pm. Sorry to hear that there was an accident, yikes! Belaying error?

So almost to the day that I had a heart attack and then open heart surgery I did the FA of "Flight for Life" 5.12c in the Rio Grande Gorge today bringing my total of new routes in the last year to around fifty.

Great to be alive.

Climbed Soft in the Middle above Hayley Anna. I added another bolt near the top of the 2nd pitch. I originally put it up with 3 bolts, now it has 7. You can get a yellow C3, a black alian, a small stopper, and a .5C4 between the 6th and 7th bolt. After the 7th you can get a green alien under the roof then a 0C3 orsmall offset nut right befor the anchor. The route is very safe.

Absolutely nothin'. Had a trip planned to Red Rock, but we canceled due to high winds. Anyone try to get out there today?

Hope you heal up quick, Cosmic!

Climbed Devil's Tower with my son for the first time. Gotta thank Keith and his son for hanging out for several hours extra while we summited, and a very nice young couple from Edminton who helped give jack some help and encouragement at the jump traverse and then even more so on the rappels. Anyway it was a great day and something I had been looking forward to for a long time.

A bunch of stuff on The Dark Side at Shelf Rd....including Suspender Man. For such a short route, that thing packs a punch. Perfect temperatures, and excellent rock. Have to get some pictures up later tonight.
