Old-school American Climbers.

Today we did Magic Fern, Senior Citizens in Space, Rattletale, and Sagittarius. These pics are all from Sag.

Be careful out there.

Mark and I went to Index today. Someone took a ground fall off of Roger's Corner (apparently they were on the second pitch and 2 pieces pulled).
On the way home a car coming headon at 40 miles an hour or more swerved into our lane, missing us by inches.
The motto- stay safe out there. Stay alert. The climb doesn't end at the top of the pitch- as I learned today. I got to the chains at Sagitarius and grabbed the chains only to discover I was totally pumped worse than I ever have been. I literally couldn't hold onto the chains. So I tried to down climb and told Mark I was going to whip. I then let go and took the ride.

Todd and I ran up Orbit today. It was sweet. I personally liked it better than Outer Space. We also ran a lap on R and D the night before which was fun. I'll definitely be doing Orbit again.

Yosemite- After Seven and Royal Arches

My brother, his wife and I were in California for a wedding and ticked off these two gems. We had terrible weather for after seven (the variation of after six)-
Blizzards and wind were the theme of the day.
A couple days later royal arches was incredible. Perfect weather, fun variations, and just perfect.
