Rob, you know I'm right there with you on those 5.5's, 6's, 7's and 8's. 8^)
Wish it wasn't gonna rain. Gotta pick mom up around 3:00 at the hospital, and I COULD actually climb after that, but not if the thunder and rain come in as predicted. :evil:
I'm ALMOST considering going to the gym and *gasp* ...bouldering

Yeah, looked even better IRL. We were camping just east of the crest, around 10,000 feet. Frost on the meadows at dawn, big views all around.
I was cheered to notice that some of the routes I took Leslie up decades ago have been graded R or R/X in new guides. We didn't know about R in those days, just that sometimes you had better not fall. She was really brave, I see now.
And they serve Espresso at the pass these days -- on a frosty alpine morning, that's a nice touch.
cheers,
L

Jake so far the weather is looking cooperative. I'm going to try to get there by 4:30. Shane and I closed the joint wed night, I pulled my anchors at 7:30. By 8 it was dark enough to turn on the headlights.

Rob, not tonight. Shutting down at 2:00 for our annual Company BBQ/Pool Party at the VP's house. Attendance, although not officially, is kinda mandatory. :? Especially since I blew it off last year for a CBQ at QQ. Boss this year was "So you're coming this year, RIIIIGHT???

After 3 days at Metrorock this week my hands are shredded! Ouch! Did some leading there last night for the first time indoors... its like Rumney, but only 10 minutes away :)
Off to Crow Hill this afternoon. Maybe I'll see some of you on the rock on Sunday.

gymnastc (and anyone else who wants to go)... I'll be at Crow Hill by 5:00 or so. Not sure what I'm going to do... may just set up a TR or two. Maybe on Karen's Folly/Post Road or Thinline.
gymnastc, do you have a rope?
sublimeclimb, are you in? I'll be up for some trad leads next week, but I doubt I'll do any today. I'm rather sore from too much climbing this week. We'll see though... maybe just being there will motivate me to jump on the sharp end :)

ERic, yeah I checked the weather and saw a thunderstorm watch/warning for worcester and middlesex counties until 7pm tonight The Chasm is right in worcester county...but the chance of precip is between 30 and 50 % so we could very likely dodge that bullet. I'm gonna go anyway.
If I'm not at the Lover's leap area, I'll be at the next facec down past the overhang with the sign that sayss "Devil's Pulpit"
