Sunbeam Climbed with Us Today and the Sun Came Out





Here's Aaron leading






Here's Lisa cleaning the climb








And here I am almost making it to the top



Just like Aaron and I thought yestesday, if we had Lisa with us, it'd be a better day. So, despite my saying it'd be a long time before I returned to Willow River, today we climbed at Willow River again. And Sunbeam (Lisa) was with us as well as the real sun. And she did her first two climbs at Willow today. Including cleaning the draws on a hard 5.10d.

Unlike yesterday, it was warm enough because the sun was out on the south-facing cliffs. (Another day we'll discuss how crazy it is for us to think 45 degrees is warm. That's really crazy!)

We did the same two climbs as yesterday. And we still could not finish that one climb. We tried everything except an elevator and couldn't get to the last bolt.

Still we made a valiant effort and proved the WR theory - "You can't overtrain by climbing every day because you're too busy climbing to get tired."

Richard, I am so glad you included that picture of you, I think it turned out to be a great shot. Again thank you for your patience.
You have a sticker now, you will go back. Resistance is futile.
One more thing- ow and goodnight.
