| I can deal with weeks on end of snow, or even sleet in the winter 'cause I can usually get out and find something to do. But days on end of this steady rain just totally gets me down. Not only the wet and rawness of the all, but the dim, dank feelings it conjures up make for a frustrating time. I don't believe that I have that seasonal depression problem, but when we have longish stretches of this kind of weather, it stars to make me wonder. [sigh] Of course a month of this weather in the spring up here in northern New England really isn't all that unusual. And after the wonderful spell of weather we had at the end of the winter, and even just a couple of weeks ago, I truly shouldn't complain. I'm just getting a little tired of writing code and (dare I say it) practicing the bass instead of being out on the rock and riding the bike. Oh well, all things most certainly will pass. |

Route of the Moment
Thin Air -
5.6
Inarguably the most popular climb on Cathedral Ledge and perhaps in the Valley. Plan on getting an early start if you don't want to be in line in the summer. In 2003 the bolts long protecting the traverse were chopped, so be prepared to place gear all the way across. In addition the 3-bolt anchor on top of the 3rd pitch was also chopped so once past the end of the traverse ledge you are committed to finish unless you are prepared to abandon gear! |
