On Top Again



Left to right, Myself, Charlie,Norma,Rich and Sarah on the bottom. Photo by Norma. Topout of the classic Bedtime for Bonzo. I like that everyone has a big grin. We did a quick ascent imagining there was a storm coming to get everyone climbing faster. On the descent we spotted a nest of 8 copperheads. They have been there for years but never so many. I went out to Phantasia and Buzzards Roost on Friday with some other friends that let me tag along and hung ropes for me. Saturday we all did Fortress and Norma crushed Bombs Bursting on lead. It was so nice to see lots of familiar climber faces at Miguel's and the crags and just go out and climb some rock. I took some video that was a bit shaky and just followed routes for a change. I lost skills by not climbing since spring. Maybe I'll send a project this Fall, maybe not. I still like climbing and can't imagine quiting it. The rest of life is a bit dull compared to it. I'm not as obsessed with it as I once was. I can deal with that.

Yaks and things

Some one wanted to know how I met Mrs Ynot. I told her that Mrs. Ynot's father was the tribe chief so I married a princess. I had to trade the chief 3 Yaks for her.
She just came home and started yelling at me for not putting away the supper leftovers. Do you suppose I can get my 3 Yaks back?
