Who cares about rain when you can climb under a massive overhang? Topped out after a fun lead, South Island, New Zealand.

Leading The Hard Trough last week; what a wonderful experience. Big Rock gets tremendously hot in the summer, but we were there early and the nicely-shaded picnic tables proved their worth.

Taken at the beautiful Big Rock climbing area in Riverside County, this route was just one of many fun climbs that I shared with friends on a gorgeous winter day last year in sunny Southern California. Photo taken by Rustic 2 Dog in between climbs and the occasional poison oak check.
