Nice! I had a supprise day off today. Could not find a partner on short notice so went winter hikeing. 2.5 hr drive A pretty decent 1hr hike with big elevation gain gets me to a long moderate.half way up there was a pretty good headwall. fat and plastic could have mostly avoided it on the right but what's the point ;)the finish has aseveral options. I chose the most interesting one with a tricky exit move that forces you completely out of balance. top of Mt Webster has a nice viewHappy New year!

got in a decent bouldering session When the state blasted these cliffs back they really improved the climbing. 10 times as many routes and pretty decent height now :) nothing super hard but a good height to practice moving up in the absolutely no fall zone. I find this really transfers well to The Lake where you will run out of gas and gear in a hurry if you cant move well over gear on dead verticle terrain.

Skip and I have climbed every New Year's Day since my NY Eve proposal and following climbing day in 2010 at Cochise Stronghold.
We have maintained that tradition through our marriage, and our day today at the Owens River Gorge marked the 9th year we made climbing together on the first day of the new year our priority.
It is always a good day climbing with the best friend and wife.

couple of new 5.7d pitches out the new crag yesterday. Tshirt weather and near 50F at 8300', even with wind and some clouds.
a nice 5.7 OW into moderate slab, a fine 5.10 slab-arete (TR so far), a fine 5.7d slab-ramp-seam-layback thing, and a long pitch of easy slabby crack into a bit of nice jamming and 3d stem-action. no moose sightings, a rarity for the new crag. buddy's GF did just great for her first time out in years.

It was a doozy today!
I wanted to start 2019 with an adventure - something out of the comfort zone.
Today I found it: I rope-soloed 3 pitches (one traversing) of choss up to 5.9 (all free) to get anchors in on the far left side of Warning Signs Wall.
Not another person to be seen today in the area.

climed a new to me boulder at lunch and was out several days in the south saint vrain area last week. Fun checking out a new area but got shut down two days out of four. Oh well. Still fun to look around as there is s lot of rock in that Canyon.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I recognize that very recognizable corner next to Bullit the Blue Sky, but I forget what it's called.
A photo of my last session with rope, in Balcarce (a while back). More like a training thing. Tomorrow, La Ola, in Córdoba.
