There was a spice container. Big topic over berm fires on the Pioneer trail in the early 90s. We all scattered. But for Bronco, solo oddities on the 88 neath trowel of winter waxed horrible. He started out as a good man. A nice man. His withdraw to personify solace went south as his compass spun between mother and ski hooker. He climbed to fight the contradiction. But, as it is, he became all he hated. . . . a he-mother ski hooker bolt drilling F'kd up Lama pumping rasta. Good on ya Mate wherever yar.

Good times with Mark, Spark, n Bill. Bill sent sun wall mid and we watched Mark walk SW left. Met some Renoites at the parking area. They climbed at deadwood last weekend, and hit the books today. Met some other folks at the end of the day who spent the day stomping around the sand looking for the fortress. Walter White was even there. Place is getting busy.

I'd keep spraying how good it is and before you know it the whole world will know The more the merrier. Personally I think the popularity of Woodfords is outmatched by level of effort needed to approach and climb many of the routes. I doubt it will ever suffer overcrowding like the Leap.

Went up to whites several years ago with only my camera in hand as well. Some of the most beautiful rock I have seen up there!'!!! Pounded a 2008 quarter at the base of a crack that I want to get on before I keel over

Thanks for bringing the mug Dan. Found it no problem.
Footloose, never got your PM. I sent you one as well. Maybe try again?

Approach to whites was a little difficult but I went the "scenic route"
The other area I'm definitely in. Access is a lot easier from the west. Looks like an easy drop in from the top if needed. Checked it out several years ago.

Chim,
Don't recall those rags but I do recall trying to pilf a stash of old Cal & Hammer topo's.
Cool action in the canyon over the last several years, great work.

Cool, Bill. I'll grab it from you next time. Might be awhile given the snow forecast (finally).

Dan, we ended up in the Cat Scratch Fever area.
Inspired by Laine's interest, we thought we'd check out the HOG area, only the first couple pitches though as we had Grady (Mark's doggie) with us and surrounding area because I don't know it well. The winds though were cyclonic on the prominences, fierce, so we stayed low. That's twice now in as many days the forecast has gotten it wrong. Lots of fun though still as we hit the gym hard yesterday so what we did today was plenty satisfying.
Do you think you should trundle the flake third way up CSF? it's not trivial and it looks like only soil and lichen might be holding it in there and looks like it could let loose anytime on belay below. Thoughts? There is easy workaround (stemming) right at that spot so shouldn't alter the route much, it seems. But that's for you to decide, I think, not me.
Weather's looking mixed next few days.

Really windy outside! looks like a gym day.
Anybody up for a workout at High Altitude Fitness? Around noon?
What about you Moose, you back in town? too windy for skiing
in t-shirts in Alpine Co today!
That's the problem, Dan, with these "pesky" wedged flakes.
They might take two thousand more pulls or just two or three
before letting loose. As the belayer at Cat Scratch Fever
a few days ago I was ready with a quick exit strategy,
ready to dart, just in case.
High Altitude now has a nationally recognized route setter
who's been putting up some really good, fun, challenging stuff lately!
Ron, I didn't know your history w CSF, congrats on the FA.
Great route!

Moose,
at least a few of us will be at the Fortress tomorrow if you'd like to come. The more the merrier, I say! We'll be at the Cat Scratch Fever area again. We're meeting at 10:00a sharp.
On another note, I left my chalk bag at CSF if anybody's found it. Otherwise I hope to pick it up in the morn. Let's hope the weather tomorrow is as nice as the forecast says. Woo hoo!
Your other thread, how cute. Such a troll! ')
Dan, congrats on the purple, I like that route!!
We miss you, Kenny!
