Not today, but over the weekend put some work into cleaning and climbing some newer limestone pitches a pal has put up in the Bridger Range in southwest Montana. The stone is pretty good!

Five sport routes on the Overlook, an excellent limestone crag in Ouray with a ten minute approach.
I must admit that the 10 minute approach has some uphill sections which seems to intimidate some of the locals. The Rotary Park is always packed, mediocre climbing but, hell, you can belay from the front seat of your car.

More FAs!
Cats and Dogs
Pitch one hidden left of tree.
Second pitch, wide leaning slot will have to wait.
Catherine, ground up, the thin before the wide.
Grovel time!
Severe monsoon hit and denied us pitch two.
Unfinished business...bone to pick...gear to retrieve!

That was an awesome F.A. with Jefe!!!! Yes it rained like "Cats and Dogs", and cat is my non-nickname, too, of course. When the weather hit, we were rained on and at times were in the actual cloud. Very surreal. So much fun, and unfinished business to get back to. More wide awaits for the next pitch.

Stuck house-sitting in the big city (and the bright lights;)
Went for a poke around last night at a few boulders near Simon Fraser University. Had the place to myself, other than the mosquitoes and the oppressive heat.
I developed a bit of a procedure while I was there:
chalk up,
make two moves,
swat at something drinking my blood,
chalk,
grab next hold,
smack skeeter on back,
rechalk 'cuz I left it all as a handprint on my back,
wipe sweat beads off face with arm,
swat at bug,
re-grab hold,
foot slips off mossy spot,
fall backwards into a tree so rotten I could punch a hole through the middle of it,
land in mud and prickly bushes,
watch woodbugs rain out of dead tree onto me,
lots more swatting.
Going back tonight. Who wouldn't?

No real climbing, to speak of. Just did a bit of scrambling up on this thing to scope things out.
Just getting prepared for a long day in RMNP.

Got out yesterday with Jack in the Picket Fence by the Cathedral Spires. Did Button Hole which is the big spire just left of the right most high spire. Was upwards of 100 degrees so Jack did not get to far, but I summited but had to down climb to a belay when I got to the small summit and realized that there were no anchors on top.

Snuck in a sweet, recently established, 5 pitch route in the Black Canyon just before the arrival of monsoonal moisture. Cloak & Daggers is just left of Comic Relief. It has three excellent pitches. Rated 10+ but I think solid 10 is more accurate.

Pingora/Wolf's Head this week. First time to the Cirque. Already working on additional hall passes to get back there and do some of those other glorious looking grade IV's.
