Great work on Resurecction! Holmgren and I spent most of a morning back in '91 trying to free that second pitch. No dice. Coming out of aid below the belay was an eye-opener, however.

 Classics! Nice to see that no effective cure has been developed yet.
Causing trouble when not climbing.

Thanks for stoke guys! Also thanks for all those replacing bolts, its very nice to do older routes with bomber stuff to clip.


Holmgren and I spent most of a morning back in '91 trying to free that second pitch. No dice.

Got by butt kicked trying to free it and ended up whipping a couple times on the first 11a bulge. Cole however is a machine and got every pitch clean.
Higgins was a beast doing that 45+ years ago.


Classics! Nice to see that no effective cure has been developed yet.
It gets worse every year...

Took six students from the SCU Climbing Club out on Saturday.

They thoroughly enjoyed The Long and Short of It, Out of Sight, and Out of Mind.  The chaos of the Tourist Trap and one of the students asking "is this the main climbing area in the park?" was the perfect set up for an afternoon hike up to Aftershock, where we had solitude and great views of all they places they could go on subsequent trips.  We got two routes in there and hiked out at the golden hour, getting back to the cars at Manzanita just as it was getting "dark dark". 

It was the second trip out for one of them, but for the rest it was their first time climbing at the park.
