Summer in Winter?

Jenn and I went to McAfee's Knob with the intent of getting some, if any, bouldering in since it had rained hard the night before. Well, some of it was dry and we put in a pretty casual session in hopes of getting drier and cooler weather the tomorrow...which for Winter that wouldn't normally be a tall order. We live in Bizarro land...this winter we have more 55+ days than I can remember, and tomorrow is to be nearly 70. Guess we will see what happens...

After a night of a lot of Tequilla and a pile of 24 episodes, its nearly 55 at 9am. By noon its almost 65. At the crag, the car thermometer says its 70. Well damn, I guess Winter might not arrive this year.

After rallying a posse together (Mike & Jason), we headed to Bozoo since the NRG was looking rainy. Upon arriving there, we ran into some friends: Truc, Heidi, Abbie, Philip and Jeb. Taking the HOT weather in stride we busted out a good circuit. Jason made a quick ascent of a V3 mantel problem in the warm up area. Mike came desperately close to a v6 roof to mantel in the same area, while Jenn made progress on a traverse located on the Hersey boulder. Truc gave a little beta on the Flame, allowing me to come super close to doing it in BAD conditions...maybe next time.

After finishing up at the Hersey/warm up area, we finished up at the 45 degree wall with Jeb and Philip. They, Mike, and Jenn tried Forbiden Fruit while I did Destro, the middle sit start into both the pinch and crimp finishes and the Mothena problem. All in all a great day in the rediculously warm weather.

Clockwise: Mike on the warm up roof mantle, Truc on the Flame
