Went climbing in Oklahoma last weekend. Two Days of Ticks, Poison Ivy, Cactus, Sandbags, Loose Flakes, and too few Bolts… but – like my friend Kevin likes to say – it’s the best we got.

I was glad to climb some new pitches and climb clean some I hadn’t done before, but I still had to bail off a supposed 5.8 – a ridiculous sandbag !

Now, I’m dreaming of another attempt to make it to the Sandias, and maybe a trip to Yosemite in September.
