Does anyone mind if I delete the last 15 posts?
I received some complaints sent to the administrator about Tokyo drift and some grumbling about the Valley on a MUD thread.
Getting the train back on the track, Craig and I ventured out to The Mockingbirds yesterday and climbed Jean Louise and Boo Radley. Approach the same as you would for Scout Peak Regular Route and then walk downhill, avoiding a few bits of PO.
Nice staging spot and good rock on the formation. Routes stay shady. Routes were dry with that spongy gray lichen on the rock - reminded me of Dirty Bird Crack at The Frog.
Fun lines with some interesting natural features. Additional natural features at the summit of Boo Radley that are belay quality if you choose not to reverse to the bolted anchor to belay. Spoiler alert - Boo has a surprise at the top of the 5th class section. Rappel is 40 feet, so a 100 foot rope is all you need. I love using half a 60m. That is my ideal rope.
Thick green moss elsewhere is still quite wet but most else has dried considerably. Ticks are out in full force since the rain.
Cool temps starting tomorrow with a slight chance of rain tonight and overcast will obviously hinder further drying.
Looks like more rain in the forecast for next week - Boo!
Party at beanos tonight
