Went to bed at 8pm, and at midnight I had someone asking for a change of pants.
This meant changing pants, changing sheets and letting him sleep in my bed.

Oddly enough, this is how I met my wife...

What are you talking about? I look like the wizened old crag master that I am used to be.
By partner was running up a 5.5 to get us to the top so we could rap in and scrub a new line (we cleaned two). He hasn't placed any pro yet, so no need to holdz the rope yet.
The new line will take a line up the highest part of the cliff, on an left angling outside corner that drops off to climber's left to a precipitous blocky corner full of death blocks. We knocked off some killer trundles that exploded in clouds of granite dust and shrapnel covering the base trail.

Hmmm. I was hoping to squeeze in a day or two at Cannon before you jumped ship but the end of April seems pretty early.

Virtually out of the realm of possibility, but not quite 100%.
More like 98.7%, and chances are good that there would be no one else there. The locals are kinda skittish about having ice-loosened granite blocks the size of VW engines raining down around them.
Cowards.

I will add that the friction up here now is killer good. After a 4 month break from all contact with rock, my second climb du jour was a .10a/b slab that only felt like a 9+. I would even have jumped on my unfinished .11d proj if the key footholds weren't soaked in snowmelt.
Now to get some snow-munching rain storms, like we're anticipating on the morrow, to rid the last vestiges of snow so I can log some serious mileage prior to leaving. My lead head didn't seem to suffer too badly after the winter break.

The old lady would never forgive you for getting smushed just days before hitting the road.
