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

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.
