Was supposed to be sunny yesterday.
We arrived at the west side to a giant Ziggy cloud over the whole place.
Cold, windy and cloud spittle.
The sun popped out for about 1 minute and then vanished.
We need a skycam down there since the forecasters cannot be trusted.

Gavin - can we equip some birds? :thumbup: :biggrin:

The daytime high here yesterday was 36 degrees. I'll bet it wasn't much above the mid 40s down there?

It's snowing now (thankfully we don't have to be anywhere and so I can delay snow-blowing the driveway).

It was a measly 47 for a high in Pinns yesterday with wind gusts 20+mph.
We were going to meet waldo today but decided against it.
He said it was a good call after he took a walk north of town.

Heading outside in a few to dig for worms  :lol: :yesnod: :puke:

You should've gone on Saturday.  It was beautiful out and not too cold.

We went Sunday through Thursday, got drizzled out Friday and came home.
Needed a day of rest Saturday - especially since it was supposed to be SUNNY Sunday.
Shoulda been a weatherman... :lol: :yesnod: :biggrin:

Here's a clue.  I suggested we call the new route Dry Humpin' but we decided that would not go over well with the central scrutinizer.

Speaking of Up the Buttress, has anybody done a 2nd ascent yet?  If so, thoughts on the rating?

Screwtinizer. He would allow Dry Humping. Dry Humping is for the Young, would not fly.

OMG that's funny. I like Dry Humping(pun intended) and worst case some old sage will censor the name. That's all.....
