6 of us met at lynns garage and everyone loved the accurate directions
(.69) except those who didn't follow them - ehhhhmmm mark. So MF
(ally), UG (pam), roller (chris), mike, rookie (mark) and myself hiked
to the small cliff and ally gave mike a lesson on rope setup (I assume -
well I hope). First up roller.. right up the 5.9 sweet moves with very
little crack talk. Next UG cruised up the big crack 1/2 way. rookie
was up next - he was a bit nervous - if his hands would just stop
shaking he could have whipped the cold sweat that was beading up on his
forehead.... Anyway he cruised up the big crack 1/2 way up and then he
realized he was not 5 ft of the ground or in kansas anymore. Mike
climbed the 5.8 and the 5.9 with ease. UG and rookie both climbed the
chimney and loved it - rookie made it all the way up!! Ally nailed
every climb - I think, and loved the 5.8 next to the chimney. I did a
bunch of climbs but that's not really why I go - I just love when girls
say "crack" - its the simple things in life. Could you girls send me
some "crack" emails today? So this nice old man came up to kick us off
his property and ally cracked (heh heh) - him in the head with her handy
mag light, doctored up his will and now she owns the rock along with his
plymouth K car. On the way down to the car it was dark - MF was scared,
and we found out that roller keeps many devices next to his bead (I hope
not tupperware or anything that can leak). Back to lynns for asphalt
chicken sandwiches (new pukemaster recipe). I should not be trusted to
hold anything after climbing (first the glass - now this) god forbid
someone hand me a baby! and furthermore god forbid its mine!!
Anyway.... Ok everyone parted - mark and I hung out with lynn for a bit
and then went out for mexican food in west hartford then steve & sullys
for drinks, pool and a band that didn't show up (no suppress there). I
gave someone a "nice bike" in W.H. center. Pam and ally I imagine
jumped into bed and fought over the lethal weapon (thats the maglite -
for protection - what are you sick?).
Good climb nice climb good climb - next climb I expect some more 3 way
action but if not charlotte will do!
later - PM
