Man, it's starting to sound like you could get one hell of a solo circuit figured out up there at Woodfords with all the moderate climbing there is. Sometimes it's just nice to get alot of vertical mileage in with just a chalk bag and shoes. With all the short, quality lines, sounds like it'd be alot of fun in addition to roping it up on some of the harder lines.

From last weekend:

Weather was warm, sunny, bright:



Always struck by the contrast between opposing faces of the Canyon:



P.S

I had wanted to ski that chute to the right, just didn't get to it fast enough in these spring conditions.
Now this week's weather is unsettled. Bummer.

Could somebody post a link or something (a cut n paste) to the Rock n Ice piece?

I guess it depends on your standards. For me,
it was a couple of days ago. If you snooze, you lose. :(

Rain, sun, now snow. Interesting morning weather wise in South Tahoe.
Gonna go skin up something, been hearing reports of good, creamy snow in some places.

msiddens,

Just don't go getting yourself injured doing that silly
biking stuff just at the start of climbing season. You'd hate that.
Just keep in mind Dark Star and Keeler. ;)

Good news, weather's looking up this week at Woodfords:

Reminder-

54 F in full-on sun on south-facing slope feels like 84 F.

Hey, I've been eager to see photos of the fortress area
from the highway for the longest time now. From before the Fire.
Bill G was supposed to send me some I think at one point
but I never got to see any.

Anyone have any to share?

All that logging might explain why the area's
quite clear of detritus.
