DAMN, two daze of warm temps, with Thursday into the upper-middle 40's, plus a solid 24 hours of rain! This sure is an unexpectedly early spring warmup. There are warnings about rivers and streams overflowing and ice jams that we don't usually get 'till the end of March. But here we are... And besides the hit to the climbing ice, this has made a mess of my garage. The amount of rain, coupled with the ground being frozen, allowed the runoff to seep into the garage. Not sure it will dry up before the real spring. DOUBLE DAMN!

VALLEY CYCLING:
There were several days of really nice riding before the rain. It's unclear what's gong to happen now. Most certainly there we=ill be at least several days of no riding. But if it gets cold and things set up we should be OK. I will be very bummed if this is the end of the snow riding, so stay tuned...

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
