Yes, and she's in very rapid motion.

Halifax looks like she is pouting in the first picture.

This might need to be cross posted to the Historic thread but it was part of yesterday's quest so... I actually drilled some bolts! First time in over 2 years. Before anybody looks at it and thinks ("those bolts are too close") I want to mention that they are two bolt lengths apart (double what the bolt manufacturer recommends). The upper bolt is a half inch stainless sleeve bolt. You could haul a truck off that thing  :thumbup: :biggrin: :arf:

Pictures to pass a little time on a rainy, cold and for some - a snowy day.

Got out and had a good time this past weekend.

Did some fun new routes with Brad





Climbed Colossus (really fun on good rock and an amazing summit for a 5.1  :thumbup: :yesnod: :biggrin:)





Titan from the summit of Colossus





Met some nice people in the parking lot and noticed that this park sign/board needs some help.





Enjoyed some wildflowers along our adventure path





Jubilation Pinnacle dwarfed by Pink Giant

Photos of wildflowers are so disappointing compared to seeing them. There were so many, many flowers there. And the bright purple!

None of it shows in shots like these.

Climbed Titan yesterday. This is the uphill side. The camera's foreshortening in awful.





This is what it looks like from the downhill side (from Colossus) and it drops probably close to another 100 feet on the right.





A bit scrappy but fun and most of the rock is good. Already past/over the awkward bulge.

 Good you’re back to mudding! Wear a mask so you don’t infect me again.

Went out this past weekend with Noal and Brad. They finished 2 new routes and we got to climb the 2-pitch 5.5. No good pics but certainly valid.

Today we hiked up into the High Peaks and climbed First Run on Illicit Chimney Dome





Got a good location shot on the way up.



No rain in the forecast but it drizzled and rained lightly on us after we finished climbing.

 Is the moss robuster than usual?

Sorry Russ - I shouldn't post about as of yet non public routes.

No worries, I’m just heading down for a day out soon and that sounded pretty cool.

Also, not trying to be lazy I just don’t have access to the guidebook right now. Is there anything else near Wind Willow Rock that has easy/moderate routes.  Have been wanting to check out Wind Willow areas but only have a day so want to pack in as much as possible.

It is public. Both of the new routes to the left of Eye Candy are public. Both are in the last new routes thread, the one that is still stuck on page seven until Aaron helps me.

The 5.5 is called Ostrich Size and the 5.9 is Twist and Shout.

I got a phone call as I was posting them and neglected to put up an announcement post that they'd been added.
