Very cool. Are those Bermuda shorts in the last picture? If so, you're bringing me back a long way. I have a picture (somewhere) of me climbing on Le Conte Boulder in Bermuda shorts 45 years ago.
Thanks for the excellent TR.

Nice TR, I love the City, some of the best moderate cragging around. I'd love see a TR of your van customization too!

You got in a lot of climbing. Great pics, who was the photog? I see you wear helmets biking; do your noggins deserve any less respect and protection when climbing?

Not Bermuda shorts, Just a light plaid print on beach trunks (and Ashley says there's a light Ed Hardy print on the back she hates).
We were the photogs. A tripod and intervalometer is all you need.
Not sure why on the helmets. For some reason I only wear mine on multi pitch routes. Probably a bad habit.

Great trip, wonderful photos, very cute doggies. Thanks!
Wear the helmet everywhere please! Unlike the real Gumby, you are not made out of bouncy rubber.

Holy moly, I climbed a whole bunch in the City in the late eighties and I don't remember any of those routes! Memory loss? Still, I'm glad to see your having fun climbing in a beautful place.
