Or shield their eyes when they see a caption at the top.

Send him some pasties with tassels or tinsel for Christmas.

JC we missed seeing you up at the High Peaks on Sunday or at least in the parking lot.

Damn, that trip report is so detailed that I may have been able to skip the trip... if I'd searched it out first.

Yep - we miss seeing you and the rest of the gang too.
It was really good to see Noal a couple weeks ago.
We tend to avoid weekends whenever possible.

I tried a search but it doesn't seem to find anything that was posted before the forum was upgraded.

I knew the date we climbed the route so I just went back through my posts - it was a quick find.

I didn't have the old guidebooks back then either - so it was fun to look through that stuff.

They aren't very helpful. Basically, "start here and climb to the top" kind of stuff.

I looked through my musty journals and found that I climbed Ball on January 24th, 1981. I'm pretty sure Sunday was my second visit. I appreciate Brad's patience. I got his new rope into a rare tangle on the second rappel and thus insured that we made good use of the moonlight.

Excellent use of the moonlight.

[F4?]

Some shots from Sunday......in the sun, no moonlight

James on the 5.5 topping out:


A guy Pete (teacher from Salinas) rope soloing. He had climbed alot in the Monument. He talked about rope soloing Bills Bad Bolts and Mr Mud getting a nice shot of him.


James topping out on Burgundy Dome Rappel Route. Can holds stop breaking on this route....5.7 sheesh

How can his left shoulder/arm do that?!

[F4?]

To be young and bend-able again.

Notice the shades? Those are my REVO Classics. He loves them.

[JC w KC redux]

Burgundy Dome was my first 5.7 and Piglet my first 5.8 (leads).

I still remember that day - it was the day we met you and squiddo - even though we had no idea who you were.   

Where is the obligatory shot of Piglet?

[F4?]

Yeah, I remember that day as well.

Damn, I did the route in my approach shoes.

Yeah, I regret not saying I was Brad Young and squiddo was Steve Dawson.....

Yep. Both entrances are open but the visitors centers are not.
No fees.
