somebody check the calendar

Cuz it sure didn't feel like May 25tth at Pinns.  (although prolly a bit warmer than our Sonora-bound brethren...)

The "best" climber is the one having the most fun.

Sure is cold here in santa Cruz.

About 20 of us got a lot of climbing in today - although we approached over four inches of snow! The upside was the fresh bear tracks we came across.

Yipes!  I'll deal with dirty litter boxes any day.   :o

Glad you all got some climbing in!

We spent the last two days in the Pinns collecting stars. I upped my lead game a bit on the West Side. Cool and windy on Saturday - I turned Beyond Destiny into a 5.7R by missing the 7th bolt after some solid equalized cam placements at the 2nd overlap, soloed(trailed a rope for KC) up Osiris Reg Route 5.4R*, Smiling Simian 5.8*(day one). Yesterday we started on Tilting Terrace P1(my 2nd time) and P2 - love those sling knobs on P2, finished up with Cool Daze 5.8**(awesome) and Kibbles and Bits 5.9*.
I was surprised Osiris had no chains or rings but there is no RB info either - I left a quick link on the best looking of the three old bolts for a belayed downclimb at KC's insistence. In retrospect I think a Pinnacles style rappel would work.
Got a friend coming from KY this week with lots more planned!

A romantic weekend in SF with the lady ended with us deciding that Mickeys beach wasn't too far away for a quick trip between breakfast and lunch plans.

Not the Pinnacles, but there's plenty of rock that probably is going to come off soon on the two leftmost routes on the main wall. <spray>Helmet for the belayer but none need for a TR send of 11d</spray>

(Or dare I say, </oceanspray>? Nyucknyucknyuck)
