Well the weather outside is truly FRIGHTFUL! A bit over 20 degrees and pretty continual winds ranging from 20, up to 35+. The lights were flickering all morning, the power went out and then came back on after about 90 minutes! About a week ago we had the power go off for about 5 hours, but it wasn't this cold. Looks as if March is going OUT like the proverbial lion! YIKES

This is really an area, not a single climb. There are numerous flows, runnels and pillars in the woods all over the area between this and Black Pudding, none really named. The right side is a great place to take a small group as top ropes can be easily set up either by climbing the large flow or walking around on the right.
Why climb? For the natural experience; for the danger that draws us ever on; for the feeling of total freedom; for the monstrous drop beneath you. It is like a drug.
—Hermann Buhl

The days of 36 frames in a film roll and no surety that you will actually get a good image are long gone. Digital cameras are all the rage, and even cell phone cameras can do a great job. Here's some tips on picking a good digital camera, if you decided to go in that direction.
Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
