| Since of course there is no ice season, I guess that there is no rush to get this out "on time..." But here itis! [LOL] So we have been on the weather roller coaster for over a week. But finally things have calmed down a bit. That said we really need rain. You won't find me complaining about an inch or two here & there, so by all means bring it on. I was talking to friends that live in the Denver area and they are in som deep doo-doo out there. No snow means no water, PLUS high fire danger. [YIKES] |

Route of the Moment
Lost In The Sun -
5.5 III
The climb generally follows the left hand margin of the rock and consists of interesting features including: slab, corners and cracks, all on good to excellent rock. If youíre an aspiring leader looking for a multi pitch challenge beyond Clip-it-de-do-dah, or a less crowded alternative to Standard Route on Whitehorse, youíll enjoy this climb. We believe that itís a good, climb for a 5.5 trad leader with multi-pitch experience that is just plain fun. However, it is not a climb where you can have protection every ten feet.
The ëSnake Flakeí got its name when Jack pried off a loose flake to uncover what looked like a copperhead. As it slithered deeper into the rock, Jack rappelled in the opposite direction. After consulting the NH Fish & Wildlife website, we believe that it was either a milk snake or a vacationing tourist as copperheads donít reside in NH. |

| I was damn glad I was with George. He was solid. I told him of my confidence, and he replied that he felt the same way. I might be lousy on 5.10, but he reckoned I had a high survival potential. |
