It's dry now...but maybe not tomorrow.
You can always go to the Sculpters Traverse. I have climbed there in full on rain, and managed to get a workout. As long as it hasn't rained super hard, it'll be dry because of the overhanging wall. And then move over to Hot Tuna for more rainy day fun!

I've been making it out to Stoney as much as I possibly can lately with the rain limiting the days to climb. I'm going to check it out today with Paige to see how the rock is drying. Maybe I'll see some of you there?!

If you take you dogs to Stoney please check them for TICKS. After a year of no Ticks I found 3 on Molly & 1 on Sol this Morning. All were Deer Ticks that carry Lime disease.
This is the first time I have found Deer ticks in L.A.

Don't blow Frumys warning off. If you are an toothless old gummer, and are use to looking for ticks, these are smaller than that and will F** you up. Small! size of a pencil lead small. Put on the glasses and look carefully. Wear light colored clothes, they show up better.
Every state has it now.

Conspiracy? Google "Jesse Ventura" and or "Plum island". Sick stuff. I'm guessing it's most likely true. Damn sad.
"Modern Lyme history begins in 1975 when a mother in the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut reported the outbreak of a strange, multi-system disease. The town lies directly opposite the Plum Island biowarfare research lab where, according to former Justice official John Loftus, Nazi scientists brought to the US after WW2 may have test-dropped “poison ticks”. [vii] It should be noted that Loftus’ reputation for gathering accurate, hard-hitting information is strong – strong enough to bring down in disgrace the former Chancellor of Austria and Secretary-General of the UN Kurt Waldheim, after the latter’s wartime SS record was revealed.
While it’s not yet known if Plum Island experimented on Lyme-causing borrelia, the lab’s directors openly admitted to Michael Carroll, author of a recently-published book which is endorsed by two former State Governors, that they kept “tick colonies”. The “hard tick” Amblyomma americanum, a known carrier of Borrelia burgdorferi, was one of the subjects of the Island’s experiments. [viii]This tick is not the one most commonly associated with transmitting Borrelia burgdorferi, but it is implicated in harbouring Borrelia lonestari, believed to be the cause of a “Lyme-like illness” in the American south. [ix]
Carroll’s book reveals a shocking disregard for safety, in this lab handling some of the most dangerous germs on earth. Eyewitnesses described how infected animals were kept in open-air pens. Birds swooping down into the pens could have picked up and spread infected ticks worldwide. ......"
The first known case of Lyme disease (arguably) in a human was most likely discovered across the bay from the Armys Plum Island installation, the town of Lyme saw a lot of the first cases and it has now spread to all 50 states. Thanks f*#kers.

Man I'm itching just thinking about the berg. Poison Oak - ticks.
Double check everything It's tick season. Deer ticks are not to be thought of lightly. Learn what they look like.
Thanks Couchmaster.
Climb-on.

My dog got a tick in her at Texas Canyon like 6 months ago. I also woke up that morning with one crawling on me but luckily it didn't dig in.
