Druthers in February

Another great day in the Boulder Batholith! Hutch, Pat and I met up with Levi, Beth, and Eric...they had just done a day and an overnight at Whiskey Gulch with a larger crew from Missoula and were ready for day two. Word has it there is currently 6-8 inches of snow in areas of that zone...we decided to stay in lower elevations so we could have a more snow free day than that...Druthers seemed like a good bet...
Session on a new problem...Levi quickly dispensed, with Pat and Eric nabbing quick sends as well. NICE!
Rounding out the day on Birthday Crack
It was a great day with alot of stoke. More stuff seems to appear at the Druthers every time I return...and it was rad to have group psyche to get some problems done!
Hopefully more days like this are in store...until then
Cheers,
Tom

animated .gif of Hotdog in the Hallway
I was pretty psyched to have people trying this thing...Levi and Eric jumped in for their first inverts...and this thing isn't exactly straightforward...kinda funky

Thanks y'all!
Hey Jeremy! You coming out to Montana this summer? IIRC you mentioned it a few threads back?
EDIT: Steve, I don't wish a cube on anyone...

Thanks neebee!
Homestake is climbable (almost) year round, due to the varied elevations and the weather patterns. Only the hottest and coldest days are intolerable...

For sure on Sunday, as it's supposed to be 55 in Whitehall. Saturday will prolly work, too, as it was sunny all day today in Butte and melted off some, and should be mid-high 40's at the rock.
