| 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
Across The Universe -
5.10
After 5 prior attempts, placing all the bolts by hand, Todd Swain, Mike Cody and Dick Peterson made the first ascent of what is possibly the best climb on the slabs. Highly recommended with great rock and almost completely fixed protection. Combining this with End Of The Universe provides 9 pitches of excellent climbing (4 great 5.10 pitches) on generally good rock and takes you all the way to the top of the cliff just right of the scenic overlook. |
