Two weeks ago I went to Leavenworth with Joel and Cortney. Our days off didn't line up with Johnny, and the rest of the monkeys are on trips in Utah and California. Lucky bastards...
We went out to Joel's cabin on Highway 2 on Saturday evening, and had a nice campfire and some quality woods time. Sunday was relatively dry, though a thin layer of frost covered the Icicle. We warmed up at The Sword, and then climbed on the fun arete of Fuzz Wall, just further up canyon. After that, we climbed at The Pony Ride and Dirty Dude, typical destinations these days. Conditions were not ideal, and I didn't make much progress, although Cortney reached a new high point on The Pony Ride, sticking the hard move only to fall of the damp lip above. It may be a couple of months 'till we make it back out there, and the Icicle time was much appreciated. I'm studying for exams all week, and toying with the idea of spending a week in Bishop after I'm done. I want to go climbing so bad...
