El Potreror Chico - Day 6

Another early morning -- we went for a route called Supernova that would be in the shade, since the temperatures are getting up there (weather report called for a high of 38C (100F) today). It starts with a 5.11a pitch (which I cheated up), then 7 5.6-5.9 pitches, half of which I led. (I led a 5.8, then a linked pair of 5.6s, Becket linked a 5.9 and 5.6, then I led a 5.9 and Becket finished the last 5.8.) I was quite happy with the leading on this, and also on using and practicing the skills of setting up an anchor, and belaying a 2nd up.

I will have to do more rock climbing trips. (The Alps at the end of July is hinting at being a possibility.)

After dinner, tonight, we plan to go out for a night-climb. Headlamps & moon. :) Should be sweet!

Gaming Saturday April 11 (Easter weekend)

Guess what, I'm hosting gaming on the Saturday of Easter weekend! What a surprise!

Start at 1pm, and run into the evening. We'll figure something out for dinner.
