Was looking up flights just for fun around the godesses weekend in J tree. Jesus Christ!!!! I'm sooooo busy I can't go climb ice. I think I'll go to RR and maybe JT while I'm at it.  She is just afraid of me drinking her under the table. By 4pm.
Except for the 4pm part. I like to think we would still be climbing at 4pm. How about $ on 6pm?

Not that Okel would have had a chance anyway. There is no automatic win.
In other words. You forfeit.

Really nice ones I might add. Not sure how hes doing that by himself, the front window alone is HUGE

If you live in Cali why would you climb in a quarry? Quarry climbing is what people do in the flatlands.
Our quarries look better. Your rock looks like it might be slightly more stable though.
A couple WI quarries.

It wasn't on Sat but I bet it is now. They both take time. I'm really busy right now. Pics will have to wait. How are the windows and doors coming? He only has the big bow window left to put in. He's busy try to finish the bathroom for when his siblings come to visit. We currently don't have a toilet upstairs. Wow he has been busy then. And a toilet for company coming is probably a good idea. you should just make them hold it for the entire time they visit. They will benefit from the experience.

Driving conditions must be horrible. Those are the worst. I'd rather have feet of snow than a few inches of freezing rain.
Oh wait...

There's BBQ pits, and you can set up a slackline too... pop some beers and boulder on the beach in 70 degree weather after work. Life sure is good.

Yeah, he's written the route name, grade and a little important info on boards at the start of each route. Not a bad idea considering he can keep an eye on it every day.... since it's down the road from where he lives. Did they at least bolt them to the rock so people wouldn't switch them around and play tricks on their friends? Hahahaaa! Never thought about that! Maybe next time! They're not bolted down at all.

Today morning I had frosted windows, but it was only 5:20 am by 9am I was enjoying a smoke outside in the sun, lunch in T-shirt in the sun, it was beautiful and people around here are telling me it will be warm in about 10 days to 2 weeks, I love BC. Ontario really is Ontarrible.

I want to climb tonight. Nathan may or may not join me. If I'm not too tired perhaps we'll break open a bottle of wine. I might buy myself some chocolate tomorrow.

I am happy for you. What are your first destinations going to be? Thanks. I've been planning on that for a while now, it's starting to get close. I'll give you one guess. *shaking the cobwebs from the back of the head* um, red rocks? I obviously do not retain 90% of what I read. Half dome and IC Close. I'd like to spend the summer in the valley like in the old days. I'm idealistic like that. Probably will be significantly harder than I'd like to admit, but hopefully I can find a way... IC won't be until oct.-ish. Yos > Squamish > Yos > Zion > IC Maybe Coloroado/RR in there somewhere. I need to do some more research on the best times of year...and just more research in general. the valley is really there only place I know a thing or two about outside the northeast. Climb some High Sierra routes during the summer.
that is part of the plan. I'd like to do the Mithril and Red Dihedrals.
