Great crew came out. Some in a heroic effort with fashionable footwear!

Hah Yeti! I've had to hit the ground running this work week since we got back... gotta get a few shots up yet.Tomorrow hopefully.

Had a nice time with a great group tho a couple of  folks were missed who couldn't make it out... 

Climbed up a line that looked to be improbable to me without bolts but pros up excellently with the first very long pitch turning out to be 5.7 beautiful, and mostly solid rock. Very fun climbing.

One snag... I was almost up a creek as I didn't know til the last minute when  about to start the hike into Hoffman and race the sundown, that I had left my hiking shoes by the door back home. We were extremely fortunate to have run into Em and Ger at the trailhead when we realized my predicament, and they both came to the rescue offering teevas and a spare of camp slippers so that I wouldn't have to go in stocking feet. Had the tune "I'll walk 500  miles.." in mind while hiking since the footwear was challenging. Ended up more spent than usual after only a day out there. Pools Sunday were just the ticket.

Hey thanks! Credit goes to the rock though - we are in the market for yet another compact camera. Open to suggestions btw.

wish I could get away this weekend. I'd rage a one day assault.

Instead, I probably have to get a new suit. OMG
