Winter is back in effect

With Jenn starting school @ UVa again this week, I have found myself back in C'ville for this weekend. We had plans for two days of pulling ,but nothing other than that. I was gonna just be glad to be outside and feeling good after recovering from the appearance of the Tequila Monster earlier in the week.

Jenn and I busted out a typically late start to Moorman's after a late brunch. I was hoping to head there to dispatch False Witness and Jen was gunnin' for the main wall's traverse. I was secretly hoping to have time to go try the Egg @ Sugar Hollow again and myabe Great White. But first we had to get the ball rolling...

After suffering through the wind for a bit, the body and fingers started to feel good. While we were warming up we met two locals, Vern ( a HS principal ) and Tim. Both were really nice and it sounds like Tim had quite a bit to do with bolting the conglomerant canyon of Maple, UT. Kinda of a small world...if you haven't been to Maple, then you should...its surreal to climb there: imagine a wall of cobble stones of all angles, with each cobble ranging from pea to chest size. Unreal and a bit disconcerting, though all pretty solid.

Anyhow, back to the day of tuggin'...I did False Witness pretty fast and while Jenn tried the main wall traverse for a bit. While we there hanging out with Vern and TIm, we learned that Sunday was to be the day Winter was gonna come roaring back to life. The skinny was snow followed by sleet and freezing rain. So after a bit of debating, we decide to bust it over to Sugar Hollow to try some problems today in case we missed out on climbing Sunday. After doing Great White, we scoped some new problems on an adjoining wall and decided to leave as that the temps were getting nasty.

Epiloge: It snowed, sleeted, and freezing rained all day on Sunday
