August 21, 2005 - Thanks for the laughs

Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle…so the clouds went all night and into the morning. When I awoke, I was a bit nervous that the day’s climbing would be washed out. The rain did give me a chance to catch up on a bit of reading (which doesn’t happen all that often).

But, by breakfast time, the skies gave us a break.

Our finger tips were still raw from the previous day’s climbing but there were so many climbs waiting. We did our best with some success and some…well, waiting for next time. All is all, Rifle was a riot.

It was fantastic climbing with Ed. I’m glad he had the time to hang. I appreciate all of his hospitality, opening up his home to me. Hey Ed…thanks for the climbs, roof over my head, and most of all, the laughs.
