an easy lead 5.8 exposed a little bit but a very good route

An excellent lead for the budding climber. Bo 9 years old and ready to lead, but dad keeps saying NO!

Big Bear California. This is a nice sport crag that is slowly getting more recognition as a destination spot. The route is Coyotes at Sunset, 5.8.

No real crux to this climb, just a lot of jug all the way up.

Bye Crackie 5.7 as the days get shorter this climb gets colder.

Steve stops to plan his next move. Fun climb lots of jugs.

5.7 Bye Crackie, 6 bolts to double sport anchors. Morrae making a 7am climb on TR. Climbed Friday Just to miss the crowed.

Getting out early paid off. We jumped on Coyotes at Sunset to start the day. Here I am leading Coyotes at Sunset

Here I am working my way up Coyotes at Sunset. A good start to a great day of climbing.

Dave tells Art M (artm) that he can find his, "G*D@&$# guidebook right by your pack, and I don't want to hear another word about the damn thing!" (Please note, much artistic license was taken to "flesh out" Dave's quote to fit the pic...but for those of you who were there you know what I mean!)
