So it's the in-between season and I'm really really busy so no WM Report this week. Sorry... On the good side I can see the sun! On the so-so side there is more crap hanging on the cliffs here in the Valley that there was a week ago. The weekend looks like it's going to be warmish and next week might even be sunny & balmy. stay tuned folks...

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.
