OK, We're Home

 IMG_5920 It's exactly 9 hours from my house to Rushmore climbing area in the Black Hills. We left there at 4PM Sunday and got home now.

Here's what the drive home looked like.

Here's John climbing at Spearfish. It was getting dark & starting to rain.

This is John climbing up "Inner Course" at Youbet Jorasses rock at Sylvan Lake.

This is my foot as I top belayed John on "Inner Course."

Here are some climbers on "Lander Turkey Shoot" at Sylvan. What's cool is she's climbing the ridge on the right and her belayer is up above on the left. Neato, huh?

Here I am on top of some windy, cold climb at Moonlight Ridge area in the Needles.

If you count, you can see 6 climbers on this route called "Garfield Goes to Washington." I think at least 4 of them are our VE boys.  (Just behind this rock, are the heads of the Mt Rushmore presidents.)
