Lynne, cool googles, gal!
That is myself ascending the boulder-in-question, not Jim.
The trad climber in me made me do the direct, plus we had the summit to which we were bound, and so we spent little time bouldering.
No matter which type of climbing we prefer, a sense of achievement accompanies us on each summit.
Ape pride!!
"Look, Ma! No tail!"
Do electric apes dream of climbing in the rain, is what I'm wondering,
In the heart of the storm and the thundering.

now there'll be peace in the barnyard - my little red rooster is here to stay
dare i say 'cowpie' on live ST?
i could use an alternate term - bull puckey
were there cattle, kine, or sheep aboard the pilgrim's ship fleur de mai?
i don't recall - but they were probably eaten by starving immigrants
did the first herds arrive sans citizenship?
of course they did because their keepers did
were any deported in the making of this great country?
there is no record of it

You decide.
I just got to ride.
Ride, ride, ride.

There are men high up there fishing
Haven't seen quite enough of the world
Ooh, I ain't seen a sign of my heroes
And I'm still diving down for pearls
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, and set me free
I'm flowing under bridges
Then flying through the sky
I'm traveling down cold metal
Just a tear in a baby's eye
Oh, let me flow into the ocean
Oh, let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, and set me free
Set me free
I am not the actor
This can't be the scene
But I am in the water
As far as I can see
Oh, I'm remembering distant memories
Recalling other names
Rippling over canyons
And boiling in the train
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in and set me free
Set me free
Set me free
I wanna drown
In cold water
Oh

I got to the top of the ladder and hung about using my elbow while snapping pics one-handed.
Pretty good workout for this olphart:
The ladder to the roof, then the ladder to the Second Step, and the ladder to the Final Step.
Yes, you can rest easy once you've completed your ascent of the Landmark of the Gateway,
Middle Earth Towers,
aka Tioga Apt. Homes,
located in downtown Merced, home of the eponymous UCM and where it all begins with a capital T.

^^^An "arrusting" shot, Frameworthy, my good man.
Gnome, so full of it, you didn't see the doggie sh#t.
It was lying in coal-like lumps on (and off) a tossed-aside piece of green indoor-outdoor carpet which lay near the base of the ladder to Step Two...little yip-yip deposits too poisonous to even be around for long, let alone waste time taking pics, laid there by the two vicious midget mastiffs who guard the realm of the Queen of the Seasons, Shelly LaBelle.
Shelly would never stoop to clean up apply poop, let alone soil her hand with chemicals to fertilize illicit plants. Her job as a cleaning woman gets her into enough deadly chemicals and hazardous waste and RUST, RUST, and more RUST so that I'm sure she just relaxes with a glass or two of liquid refreshment, much like my sister does after working all day at the cafe in Jamestown. I've never known her to use or to have anything to do with weed.
She's a fun drinking companion, however. But her dogs, man-o-man, they are two little devils. But they're trained to raise a holler when she's not home, so they are functional, not just ornamental, much like avi-poodles.
I'm not allowed legally onto the roof, of course. This is on the QT, so as long as the management doesn't find out or Shelly decide to submarine me by blabbing to said manager for some reason, it's still cool. The tale is simply told about my "narrow-but-temporary escape" yesterday eve.
I was on the descent from the summit, down on the First Step, making my way over the parapet above the cornice, standing on the riser going over onto the ladder to the fire escape. As I was about to make the first move onto the top rung, the woeful sound of yipping and yapping exploded on the rooftop. I looked up and the dogs were really pissed and running over to let me know I wasn't welcome, etc. She'd let them out the window when she got home, so I thought, and this was correct.
I wasted not a second making my way down the ladder, leaving the two monster midgets yowling and howling up there. I made my way into the building, down the hallways to the elevator landing on five. Who should be descending the staircase from six but Shelly.
As we caught sight of each other I smiled just as she did. I said, "I'm busted!" Shelly laughed and it all was a good joke, so no harm, no foul.
And that's all I know about "chocolates" and marijuana plants on the roof of the Tioga.
