I've worked the past 5 weekends. I don't need to say anymore than that. Instead get your fix from the sweet photo Seftick sent.

Heat Wave

Like my Julys of years past, the heat has beaten down, leaving us to abandon goals till autumn, or at least August. For those of you that were here before the fourth, you had it nice. We hit triple digits every day. Not like we're up to nothing out here. Got in some whitewater, took in a show, and got my paws on a little rock.

The Gorge

Shy bands like to play here so they know the audience isn't looking at them. The climbing looked good too, if it wasn't 109 degrees.

We climbed the left tower, indirectly getting to the base via three moderate pitches we later found out we could have hiked around. It was a long day.

We were planning to climb up around Mystic Lake over the weekend but oddly occuring blisters got the better of my feet. At least the sun came out for the hike down on sunday. 

Weekend home on the lake.
