| 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
Lady Slipper -

A very nice route which had an undeserved R rating. The route was rebolted in September 2003. The crux move came at a button head which came out amazingly easy! All new bolts were placed within a palm-width of the originals. The lone bolt above the block at the belay is there for a directional so the belayer doesn't get pulled off the block if the second falls! |
