The 3 Area Pledge

This guy says:

""Climbing at many different areas is the very best investment in your future climbing ability--of course it's great fun, too...Here's the biggest secret to achieving your "three new area" goal this year. Right now, you must write down the three climbing areas you want to visit (next) season and develop a plan of action for getting to each."

So here are my goals: VE, Red Wing, Taylors Falls. Oh wait, that's the same as regular. How 'bout, Needles, Red Rocks and this place. With rock faces like this:

"Eleven pitches ranging from 5.8 to 5.10d.  Great summit about 4 foot by 4 foot area!  20 second approach. [20 seconds! I don't think I'd want to hike that far.]

Or these routes on the same rock wall:

"Nine excellent pitches ranging from 5.6 to 5.10d with a beautiful summit.  A fifteen second (yes, second) 'hike' completes the approach! 

¡Ole! the fiesta begins today.
