I don't remember, but doesn't the concentration of climbs at cathedral start in the 5.7-5.8 area?
Thin Air is 5.6 and there are one or two .5s but they mostly are .7 and up.
The book lays them out by grade, I think the highest concentration is 5.9 or 5.10a

It's raining here, is above freezing and all the schools are cancelled.  I say skip it. Why do they cancel school for rain? It snowed here a lot late yesterday. Today nothing, but I hear there is more coming tomorrow. Freezing rain would be a good reason to cancel school got 4-5 inches of snow. Then we got a lot of rain. This morning we are back to snow. The rain is all puddled up under the snow. Driving conditions must be horrible. Those are the worst. I'd rather have feet of snow than a few inches of freezing rain. I was powersliding around the parking lot last night... just for shits and giggles. Got a lot of weird looks. Drifting is fun. I do it every now and then. Did it a few weeks ago post- class. Came owt of teh parkinglot sideways and stayed that way through the adjacent super parkinglot of Lowes and Walmart. Waaaaay too much fun. I swear that the cops may have been called. I think the next time that i get an operutinity like that i'll get someone to film it. my front wheel drive prius doesn't drift. Its traction control kicks in and it will slow down the wheels against the commands of my lead foot. teh suk Speed + Turning of Wheel + brakes = slide. Get going fast enough and it'll slide. Or flip.
I saw a car flipped on its side the other night when it was snowing. People don't know how to control their cars. I don't do the slide, just donuts in empty parking lots. The kids love that. But then the little buggers go home and say to their dad "mom did this awesome donut in the truck..it was so cool" and i look at them as if to say...you aren't supposed to say that! Bruce just gives me "the look"

No silly, it's to use after the climb to wipe off the persperation from climbing in the warm heat of February, and then to lay on inbetween climbs to soak up some rays and relax. I hope a big shark bites you in the ass next time you're surfing That wasn't very nice. gloves are coming off boy. oh thats a hockey term, you beach boyz might not get it I get it. I like Hockey. I like the beach too. Art knows hockey. He's a beach boy. AB, no hockey. I should probably clarify that while I live in LA I'm not really into the beach. Much prefer hockey.
Sinner!!!
That's like saying that while you live in Baffin Island you're not really into whacking baby seals, and that you'd much prefer underwater basket weaving.

I turn my head for a second and look at the mess you monkeys have made in the Banzpit!!! So is there a time-out chair somewhere now? In other news on the Aussie front.... I'll be climbing outside for the first time since I was sick in May. I've been climbing solid 11 in the gym lately, so I reckon I'll be able to jump on a couple of 5.8's for sure! Our Thailand trip has now been pushed back to mid May, but I'm sure we'll still be able to enjoy ourselves, even if it's damn hot! Woo Hoo!!! Hey, you lock a group of monkeys in a room and... Hopefully climbing doesn't make you sick again. Wash you hands before eating lunch!!!! Why did your trip get moved? Yes... what does happen to a room full of monkeys? I couldn't possibly think of anything that might resemble that scenario. Hmmmmm  Climbing has actually helped me get better... at least it did initially to regain my strength. The fact I never got outside after becoming better was more a factor of the Texan heat and how busy I was with research than my condition. I'm pretty much back to normal now... could even be stronger than I was this time last year. Our trip has moved back a little coz that's the time Newbie can get off work... Fortunately the hotels become dirt-cheap from May 1st. Only 3-4 months after that and we'll finally be moving in together!! After two plus years of marriage. thats bizarre that you have been married for 2 years and finally going to be moving in together. I suppose that the honeymoon will last longer that way. It's been both VERY tough and at times painfull to be apart, but at the same time it has certainly made the times together more meaningful and awesome! Our communication is better than it's ever been. We know the transition will be tough also to be together, but we also know that we can survive totally fine and accept a life together as two independent people. very well said. who says long distance doesn't work? Me. 
Inevitably no-one can live a lifetimes-worth of a LDR. We're getting sick after more than 3 years of it but are pretty much experts by this stage.

You better get on that before Newbie gets there. It sounds like is could cause some chaffage. 
No worries.... I use lots of oil when I sharpen my tools....

A couple WI quarries.   ^^bolted crack^^

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.
Oh, also, under no circumstances should you miss the Needles. If your heading their midweek, though, you might want to head down with someone from the valley, it could be tough to just find a partner their I'd think.

Doc seems to have bragged about some pretty good meals he's cooked up. A good cooked dinner is more personal and cheaper.
BTW - aren't all the big holidays commercial in North America?
