Went to shuteye for 6 days of climbing. We had the place to ourselves;...we saw no other people or climbers at the crags.

The first day we set up camp and climbed at Swimming hole wall ;...lost eagle camp area.

My climbing pal Lisa Rodgers;...a traveling nurse living in San Diego (moving to Pennsylvania). She meet us for 3 days;....she loves to climb. (who doesn't?)......World class climbing, no camping fees, no rangers, no people, great weather, short approaches, and awesome dudes to climb with like Andy Gorrill and myself;.....a girl's dream come true.


(But....no netflix or cell service....THAT is a problem...but we worked around it and survived...somehow...)..
