Title: Alabama Hills is like SoYo since I drive back over 178, right?

Got out to AHills with my sweet heart. Very civilized trip with Best Western hot showers and Seasons dinner and Alabama Hills Café Cinnamon Swirl French Toast. I do not think I lost any weight this trip.

But here are a couple pics from that trip...

Just started using watermarking for pics that I put on Flickr.

1.2 Mazillion tops.

At current exchange rates that is right around $4.00. :)

Left the evening of 4/19 to spend Friday - Sunday at the Hills. Ended up being about 10 of us total with 5 of us turning 45 this year and Adam's birthday Saturday. We scored the spot near DXM Wall (for those familiar) and got in a good amount of climbing. Always amazed at how gritty the rock is there.

Scouted around and went up a steep narrow gully on the left side of Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong. It has a cool hallway that stays shaded all day except about 45 min. Time to FA on 'Birthday Wall'.  Got a fun GU 7 bolt arete with a TR to the right, 2 cracks went all trad, 2 cracks needed 2x and 3x at the base, all with shunts for anchors. Adam and Andrew jumped on another "45 Wall" behind Birthday and did a couple more cracks. Placed a shared anchor with quick links. Climbs are 5.6-5.8+.

Tons of fun had, duck tacos a hit again, so much rock there to explore.

Spouse and I love going there. Not in the heat tho. Sounds like a productive trip!
