Becky ticks off here first 5.9 on here second climb ever. Nice climb, Becky.

Javier, Damon, Me, and Chris chill at the overlook on Endless. Well, they were chillin. I was freaked out with the army guys and their effin heavy packs dangling feet over the edge. Yep, I'm a wuss.

Damon (rottenice) and Chris (dondiego) remembering times past at the overlook of Endless Wall.

I've been to Coopers many times, but this is the first time I've ever gone up to the overlook. I've been missing a pretty good view.
So many times we overlook something that is so obvious to see.

niceporch working the sweet arete in the Good Block area, Coopers wv.

This is the best arete in Coopers (my opinion). I can't make the second move, but it's frickin sweet.
Eli shows me how it's done.

Beta Bob showed us this hidden cave near the Fin. It was pretty dark, but Night Vision shows us a few possible problems.

I love slab almost as much as I love aretes. Fiddle rock has one of the best varieties of slab at Coopers. This route is about 3 feet right of Newbie Route. The top is slightly tricky. The key is the high step.

It also seems that the photog liked to cut off my feet.

I'm realizing I took way too many shots of this problem.
Here's Eli again.

Lee brushes a hold to try and dry it out a bit w/ a makeshift tool.

The dampness didn't do us well.

Getting tired of it yet?

Eli messing around on a nice traverse on a boulder in Derry.

The best part was the lack of broken glass.

Eli works his Project, the opening to a small cave in Derry.

As if you couldn't tell from the spraypaint. Topout sucks from all the glass, too. Here Nate brushes some shards away to get a better grip.

Small boulder off the downhill corner of the Island block, facing the Beginners block.
Good for working on balance and technique
