Keep eyes on the balconies. Fingers crossed I'll be climbing up there. Damn near my favorite place on earth, so far.

Stoke matters gentleman. Keep crushing.

High Peaks was still very damp when we got there.  We dropped or packs and went and did some exploring.  We returned about 4 hours later wet and hungry but had a fair bit of fun.  The current project was still way to wet since it did not receive any Sun, so we started another.  So far very good rock and some good moves.  We got in 3 bolts just before dark.  We were both a bit surprised to see another car in the parking lot when we got down.

We found a route for Brad, but he has to bring a bottle of wine and some cheese.  Seriously, kidding but not, it will be worth it.

Hope everyone is having fun out there.  Was nice but a bit chill.  At home now and it is pouring down rain.

I was a bit late meeting Noal at the designated spot because the road was blocked at the bottom of the hill.  Some guy had totaled his 2 day old Lotus.  Was a very shiny black.  Thankfully he was ok.  Well, he was not physically hurt.

West Side was wet too. I didn't even bother taking my rock shoes and left them in the car.

Alex cruised Mission Impossible despite it being a bit damp. It was nice to do that route again.

Mostly cruised around and took some gear for a hike, picked up trash and managed to find some bushwhacking.

Excited other mudders were out on Sunday too! The wet rock and healthy moss added an extra layer of adventure 

managed to find some bushwhacking.

Wasn't that bad. I didn't find any holes in my clothes, twigs in my hair, or ticks hitching a ride

Here is a shot of Humping Lizards.  It roughly follows the ridge that goes from the lower left of the picture to the top center (mostly along the formation's left skyline).  The name was not my idea but I liked it.

Doesn't it go from the lower left of the picture to the top center (mostly along the formation's left skyline)?

Oops.  yes that is correct.  Edited to include your changes.
Thank you!

How did this thought form?

Mud gives approval with a disclaimer.


 I will not give a detailed explanation of what I see but you might want to call it Down Moby.

This is the view that inspired the name. Look closely and you can see Mr Mud in profile belaying on the lower "step"(just right of the tree branches) and nelkins is drilling on top. nelkins ran it out from Mr Mud to the top

I slung a knob about half way.  I'm sure there are plenty more similar options.  What's fun is to climb along the edge of the ridge towards the top.  Kind of like a mini West Ridge of Conness.
