.. summer is here .. the weather is perfect .. i'd like to hear what everyone else did this weekend..
.. throw in a sentence or two about something exciting that happened during yrou climb .. or even throw in a link to a trip report if you got one ..
I spent saturday and sunday hanging out in yosemite valley .. did nutcracker (5 pitches, 5.8) on saturday (had it all to ourselves!!) .. and then linked commitment (3 pitches, 5.9) and salaginella (4 pitches, 5.8) on sunday ..
.. i led all pitches .. which was exhausting (trying to get back into shape!) .. our exciting moment came when we started going up salaginella and dark clouds rolled into the valley, we could hear thunder coming down in the distance (up in toulomne probably) .. -- luckily the storm turned directions and exited the valley over half-dome ..
.. perfect yosemite weekend! ..

Cool. Selagenella and Munginella are the only Valley climbs I've done. Gotta get back for more!
Predictably, I worked saturday and sunday night, but sunday morning-afternoon Roughster and I blasted up to Auburn where I sent up Confusion Tactics, for my first 5.12.
It was a little crazy because I didn't feel so hot, and climbed like steaming poo on my first 3 climbs. 5.8, shaky. 10c, shaky, 1 fall! 10c, shaky.
Shook it off, got in the zone, and sent it up. Hope it doesn't sound too much like spray! 8^)

Great weekend, Ricardo.
I went on the next in a series of "hazardous hikes" in Aquarian Valley -- close to San Jose, CA.
Soloed a few slabs, bushwhacked through some nasty manzanita, dropped my pack in poison oak.
Dang. I look like I got caned this weekend, and I itch.
Still, I think I have a bunch more fun when I'm lost.

I took my 9 and 6 year old kids to a 5.5 climb and started to teach them how to lead.
Watch Return of the King.
Mowed the lawn.
Went on a search up Indian Hills (Provo, UT) for a 15 year old kid that fell 15 ft. and broke both forearms. He called his parents to tell them and then his phone went dead. Did we ever start in the wrong spot.

Trad climbed recom-beast on cathedral ledge in NH! 4 Pitches....5.5,5.7,5.9,5.9!
Memorable events:
1. Almost hit a moose while going down the road to Cove Campground!
2. Some party above us dropped at least two pieces of gear! What looked
like a number 3 camelot (hard to tell when it's going 100mph) made a cool
whoosing noise as it flew past me on the belay ledge!
As soon as I get around to running photoshop, I will post some pics!

Saturday, I was finishing up a Needles trip with a morning at Dome Rock. Lead a fun little route called Left Crack, starts with a somewhat tricky to protect 5.8 traverse, to a beautiful 5.7 crack, 5.9ish slab, then finishes with a big runout on old bolts. This with roadside cluebies chucking rocks off the top.
Sunday was heading out to see farenheit 911 when I got a SAR call. Wound up carrying a backpacker with a broken leg out through a rocky streambed covered with poison oak. He'd been stranded there for about 36 hours before we found him.
A satisfying weekend, but I'm still itching...

Boating on the local river (North Fork of the Shoshone). Finally got my boat outfitted (C1) and it is super nice.
This weekend: Wild Iris near Lander.
Wyoming is a nice place to live.

Three hours of sleep and a killer hangover left me more nauseous than normal three quarters of the way up a pitch in Shenandoah. The supposed 70 degree day had turned for the worse and at least 20mph winds and what felt like forty degree weather didn't make for a comfortable time bringing up my partner.
But the day got sunnier, hangover got lighter, and beers at the end of the day were still cold.

In reply to: .. summer is here .. the weather is perfect ..
17 days straight of rain in June - a new record for Central TX. Got caught in a thunderstorm hiking out of Enchanted Rock after climbing 4 routes on Sunday.
Worked on Saturday (it rained all day), had my tires rotated and balanced, watched a movie at home, drank some beer (at home), and read a little bit.
Looking forward to climbing this weekend (only 10% chance of rain!)

I had LASIK eye surgery. I didn't hit the rocks but next time I do I'll be lookin at them with 20/15 or better! I woke up 24 hours after the surgery with 20/15 vision and I think it improved a little since then. :D

I was also in the Valley this weekend. Left Berkeley at 6:00 Saturday morning, got to the Middle Cathedral pullout at 9:30. Started climbing the East Buttress at 10:00, topped out just before 3:00. Tried the original '10c' variation for the second time, peeled at the 4th bolt, still feels like the hardest 10c I've ever been on! The view from the top was incredible, even after climbing 1100 vertical feet, we were still only about halfway up the flanks of El Cap, looming at us across the Valley. Topped out, sat and admired the view with some fine 'long bottom leaf...' and grubbed some food. Descent was the usual slog, although somebody did a great job of cleaning up the rappels in the gully, and we made it back to the car just after 4:30. Plenty of time for a few beers and back to Berkeley by 10:00. Incredible day, the weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny, but with just enough breeze to keep comfortable. Plus, amazingly, there was nobody on the route! I also saw the clouds ominously gathering over Tuolumne and was glad to be in the Valley. Great weekend, hopefully will get up to Fairview dome next weekend.

Rolled into C4 around 4am Saturday. Bivied at a friend's site. Woke up and found more friends, seeing who was climbing what that weekend. A few of us decided to head to Tuolumne for the weekend since the valley had been hot. Went over to the pizza loft and visited a buddy and got some grub before heading over to the eastside. Put up a TR on Do or Fly on Puppy Dome and got spanked. My partner and I decided to do RR of Fairview Sunday so we headed to the Cottage Dome area and hiked to the top for a great view of Fairview in the early evening light. Drew our own topo for RR, had a couple beers and stared at the beauty of nature among us. As darkness crept in, S and I headed down to Lee Vining to see my friend Valerie in town. She wasn't around though so we headed up the pass again to a favorite bivy site. Rolled in there and found only 4 other cars, 2 of which were occupied by other friends of ours. Slept under the Lee Vining Canyon stars. Woke up, made coffee, hung out with friends...one of which is an excellent guitar player....he played his guitar and sang songs as we drank coffee, talked upcoming climbs and racked up. S and I headed to Fairview Dome around 10am. All went smoothly until about halfway up the route when some thunderstorms threatened us nearby. Bolts of lightning hitting in plain view, was kinda heady. We started simulclimbing the route at that point to make speed and get up and off the dome without being turned into human lightning rods. By the time we were within 200 feet of the summit the storm subsided, the lightning and thunder stopped. When we topped out we took a minute to enjoy the remarkable view from up there. Hiked off, hung out at the car and told stories and talked and enjoyed the magical nature of Tuolumne. Eventually headed back to C4, along the way saw one of the more remarkable sunsets I'd seen there in awhile. We pulled over and watched the colors in the sky for about 40 minutes til darkness overcame them. Eventually returned to C4, had a beer or two and went to sleep. Got up Mon. AM and returned back here to work.
Typical weekend for me in other words.

well i did have a super exciting weekend b/c i was in tuolumne and spent two days climbing and getting chased off as impending storms approached. Saturday was Matthes Crest--did the first mile to the notch, then started on the next section--which has some 5.8 downclimbing moves with little (if any) protection. Storms start to come, we're desperate to get off the ridge--we were so happy to find some bail slings to rap off of.
Sunday, we go to do Cathedral and we get wet snow on us the last pitch, with lightening and thunder coming closer and closer..."climb faster!" scurrying as fast as possible to get back down to safety.
all in all, a great weekend, but a little too close to the storms! Always love being in Tuolumne, though.

No doubt! Last weekend we packed into the Grand Canyon and climbed Mt. Hayden.

The approach was absolutely heinous, but the rock was nice, the weather perfect, and the scenery sublime. Yep, it was a good weekend. :)

Tuolomne!
Saturday I did my first multi-pitch climb: Needles & Spoons on Pywiak
Also played on some sport routes on Meldicott Dome (the same area where Peace is). Sent my first 11 on sport.
Headed on over to Puppy Dome to flail all over a 12a finger/hand crack.
Great weekend.

I was teaching an advanced rappel and asscend course at lions head with my girlfriend.
One guy puked looking at the 210 footer and left the course early (we go at midnight and 200 feet of it are overhanging), the winds were a bit high but gave the adventure racers a taste of what to expect.
I got to asscend and "rescue" a bunch of stuck people...not a high light but still fun.
Would have liked to climb more but I was a bit tired after a TON of asscending.

me and a buddy went to suicide to do a little trading. we went to the far right side and did flower of a high rank to warm up, and i led Etude, direct start. great route, and woth every bit of anticipation i experienced. although i did hang once, i thought it was a valient effert. then we moved over to the first pitch of flakes of wrath and the first pitch of jhony quest.
not a bad day for leaving the house at 8 or 9.
i think the kicker was seing all the blood left by a poor man that compound fractured his ancel on flower of a high rank. jesus that must have been a bad day up there.

I was in Colorado with three good and trusted partners. It was my first mountaineering experience. We climbed the Crestone Needle, via the Ellingwood Ledges route. (more or less) We got to do the descent in a hard pellet snow and thirty+ mph winds, leaving everything as slippery as goose sh*t. hmm... and 5 minutes ago, it was sunny and pleasant. :shock:
I never had so much fun in all my life (with my clothes on, that is)

Spent the weekend at Jackson falls, IL. The rock was slick and the rain was prevelant. luckily we has large amounts of alcohol to keep our spirits up. Really looking forward to my trip to the Wind River Range and the Tetons. I really hate the mid-west sometimes.
Luckily the weather is looking up for Red River Gorge this weekend. Hopefully we will find some dry sandstone and hot miguels pizza.
peace.

Gunksed it up - camped out Saturday night and enjoyed a heavenly light show from the pull off parking lot. From the lot at 10PM I could see a huge moon coming over the horizon, fireworks, and thunder in the distance that looked to make mushroom clouds - all to the peaceful hum of the evening breeze. Good times.

I got to climb my first multi-pitch routes this weekend just south of yosemite. It was awesome having a very competent trad leader to lead me up 2 different three pitch routes. I learned alot and had a ton of fun. Thanks Kevin!

Awww, I've been spending my whole summer in Lubbock, Texas. I haven't spent a single nanosecond pulling on rock this summer. :cry: still looking for a partner...

On the 5th of July, climbed 5th of July (Clear Creek) with my daughter and her husband. Then dashed home to shower and catch the jet home. Cool way to start the day.
