Finally got to touch rock today last climbed ice on April 14th its been rain, snow, fog and floods for almost a month. felt pretty solid on my first climb/solo of the season. Arthritis was a bit tender but that might be because I played 3 gigs in a row this weekend. fri night, Sat night and Sunday brunch...

Isa and I finally got out yesterday... The rare sunny almost warm day. I led one of our 5.8s Isa led another. Celibacy 9+ felt pretty stiff to me right off the couch...

You'll have that ;) when we first saw the line we got so excited about it that there was no thought or time for anything other than getting the ground up FA. with our work schedules and rainy weather that meant a couple hours after work once a week for 3 sessions... I was new to hand drilling...

I will miss this thread. Thank you Jay, Nick, Andy, Mike, each and all. Stoke is a rare bird, and you old dogs show it in finer form than the frothy hordes over yonder. Cheers, fellas, femmes, 'tweeners, and all.
Oh yeah, this evening it was the Mosquito Arete boulder problem in muddy socks Chacos, the one that I mighta done first, the one that raspberry'd me pretty gud on the season opener last year. I f*#ked up the beta but new and improved me wasn't all schwasty so I did not pop a foot and pay in flesh.

See you all out there!

Mike and Jack, why the frown? Yer there in the Gallatin canyon with the awesome river sounds wafting up, and the Towers beautiful Gneiss...
We’ve got to meet up though my ability will be limited to a pub for next couple weeks. I’m laying here in Mayo, Rochester MN Hospital after a 4 hour Revision surgery yesterday. Out with my destroyed TKA (total knee) in with new, stronger hybrid version. I’ll be returning to Boz Sunday pm. Best D and includes Nick and other contributions.

Awesome pics Jeff will miss your stoke. No frowns hc just wanting to finish the route. It was a great night didn’t start climbing till 6:30. It is amazing how late it is light here. What a great route the standard on Gallatin Tower is. Did it 15-20 years ago. So good. Hc. I hope you heal up soon and let’s definitely have a beer when you get back to town.

Jeff, such unbelievably different conditions just a few days later!
No ice or snow today, just a tiny bit of drip in one spot, nice sunshine with just enough of a wind to justify an R1 layer.
That new route with the dihedral near top (facing the road) is pretty cool!
