Squeezed in a few climbs Saturday afternoon before the Frost/Robbins show then another Sunday morning before zipping back to Santa Cruz. Perfect Fall weather.

Ah! left off the best part (for me) of the trip. Great to shake hands for the first time with Ed, Guido, Boodawg and LuckyPink and nice to shake hands again after many years with Mimi.

Thanks.
I love seeing the photos of the family and of all the climbs but especially Harry Daly. I think it must have been my fist Valley climb.

TFPUAC = Thanks For Posting Up Anders Cries?
Anders: Yup, they are the offspring. No jokes about how my wife must be very attractive. They are not as innocent as they look. We stopped by the Valley the Sunday before facelift on the way back from the Meadows and saw your car at the camp 4 parking lot. I couldn't find a pen in the car to leave a note. I think the suggestion was to pee on your tires to let you know we had noticed you.

minor bump as I added a few photos of other parties we ran into over the weekend. If you see yourself, drop me a note via the ST message system and I'll send more photos.

Any trip to the valley is a good trip. Nice pics!
I seem to recall being more mushed into the crack on Nurdle, not out on the face like that. But I'm fairly face-o-phobic.

I've always suspected that quality times quantity is a constant. This "mini" TR is right in line with that concept. Nice pictures and TR. Thanks much.

Nutjob - kids these days eh? Raised in a gym, John is more comfortable throwing 10b deadpoints to out-of-reach face holds than he is climbing 5.8 corners...

That would have been a nice Bolte from the blue - sorry I missed you.
TFPUAC = thanks for posting up about climbing. A new twist. After all, if you simply say "TFPU", it could be for anything.
