It was a warm day, for March, when the first blessed email popped up on my computer screen, "Aaron, Lisa, Let's go to Red Wing" YES!!! So we rendezvoused with Richard in the south metro and headed for the bluff.The east end still had snow cover and we brushed ice off the ledges . That's when I discovered A1's compulsive need to go NOW. Our fingers were stiff in the cold but we were determined to make the most of the first climb of the season. Richard is an encouraging and patient guide to this new playground.
We has had a full season of fun exploring every nook and crack of that crag with many new friendships born on the bluff. Perhaps Nov 4th will have been the last of it. But maybe we need to stand in the snow at least once before we call it quits. Look how young and naive we look! On the upside, when we start in March and end in November, the new climbing season is only 3 months away!
