Planning on heading back to Back Bowden. We'll see how starving myself to cut weight has worked.

This graphics class has been incredibly boring today. No time to work on the Bigger Boat project. We had to do a project making our own ancient type art.

If the Good Lord smiles on me once more I'll be off to Sespe Gorge and Pine Mountain over the weekend of Oct 10/11.
My marine buddy Tim from church is jonsing to go. Didn't take even a sec to say yes to a weekend of climbing. He was so excited, he invited Hector, our mutual freind from church. And Hector is jonsing to go. So it kind of all worked out, as I had to tell my wife that I kind of have to go now, the guys are really excited.  I like Hector, he's a real good guy, but he's never done multi pitch. I've also never shown him how to rap. We'll see how he does.  But this way Tim will have to drag the second rope behind him to bring up Hector. 
Anyrate, I'm excited to head out.
Edit since I couldn't spell Tim's name right

Hope it holds out for you.
Couple weekends ago I was in NC on business and it was supposed to rain over the weekend when I was planning on sight seeing. But it turned out nice, very nice.
I don't know if I've written the trip up here or not.

Sweet. Sounds like a good time. It's always fun when you get out with folks you haven't climbed with for a bit.

Yes, and we're camping w/o the families to boot. I think I'll make it Tim's job to bring the beer.

Always a good plan. But you've gotta be sure you can trust him to bring good stuff. Do you trust him? If you're waivering, you might want to drop a few subtle hints just to be sure.

I did tree root 5.5 about 18 years ago. Looking foward to doing it again. I believe it was my first multi pitch. With a 50M rope it was 3 pitches. Last pitch being short.
Two years ago I did Ending Crack, 5.7. A great finger to hands crack, but with foot holds on the face.
Anyrate, none of the pitches are short enough to rap with one rope, so I'll break out my lightly used but old Mammot 11 for the tag line and bringing up the 3rd.

Could be.
Hopefully will be on the 10th, as our first climb.
