Not many photos, not many routes climbed, but I did stretch some muscles, injure others and recover. Even had a minor drunkin campfire injury when I sat on, and squashed, my own hand. (I did not spill the miso, or the beer however.) Met some new people and saw some new things. Sensory overload for a while, but now up loading and processing.
"Got" the first 1/4 of the Gunsmoke traverse. Got to hang with some cool peeps, heard a 'Bird tale first hand. (can you say goosebumps?)


Loved the Mt. Lemon rock, not so much the manicured camping. (Did not stop us.) Cochise stone called out to me strongest, there I did the most climbing. Still not leading, still resting a lot, but my feet found their way under me the day after Thanksgiving. Thanks Frummy, triple+ thanks to Al(natural).

Putting together more names, faces and realities behind the ST avatars. Always interesting and fun. Really enjoyed talking with Frummy, guyman, Cole, the Dr. and others.
Met some fine pups, even the one eyed, food thief, gear pissing Jack I liked.

Got to watch a great young lady from Jackson, WY develop some more as a leader, and her pal Nate develop a well rounded climbing background with her. Oh the things they put him through in a couple of weeks! Easy to be happy for them. (good job Nicole!)


I found out who had my Mojo, and it was me! This guy just produced it from behind my ear, like that coin trick......and gave it back to me. (lost the earring somewhere. true dat)
I'd tell the tale of the wild night in Ryan campground, but it's his to tell.

Motivation is high, but with the wind howling and the precip dripping down, time to change gears to slidin mode. Let there be Pow.
