I don't think anyone slept very well last night, most of us having come from some where near sea level barely have had time to adjust to operating at nearly 8000 ft. I was sucking air a little on the walk up to the bridge this morning. Rumor of the upper parking lot being filled with cars last night proved to be baseless as there were only 3 cars in the upper parking lot this morning. As a matter of fact, there was hardly the need to get up at 0630, but if you have your eager heart set on a particular climbing route, it is best to get there by 0800.
Some of us met for breakfast. Jason, Justin and Ryan were off for a day at Dexter Slabs and John, Lee and I were headed to run laps in South park. We really didn't see anyone else besides a few guides and clients until well after 0930 and essentially had the park to ourselves as is usually the case and the reason we come at this particular time of year.
The sky is absolutely BA-LEW...The air temp in the gorge was probably upper 30s but you would think it would be wet and drippy. It was not at all. Everything was dry even the Uncompahgre River was dry and frozen on top. In other words, the farthest thing you could imagine from Northeast Climbing conditions we enjoy while here. I climbed the entire day in my gardening gloves instead of my guide gloves. I was hot wearing what I had on.
We found ourselves in South Park and we started at
Super Fun Time WI3 and moved the rope down
Sexual Harassment Panda, Canceled and Cartmans Anal Probe Wi4. We climbed until satisfied and pulled out around 1500?
We drove up the million dollar highway to check out horsetail falls. Joe Martinet just arrived and he is i for a treat in the morning!!!
