random walkings

Sunday morning: July 3: 1pm: to go to santa fe and see mr and mrs smith with dave and marlon, or to hope that Christina and Julian will wake up and call me back and want to go climbing… that was the question… and, well, climbing happened!

Cattle Call Wall: [letter B on the thing that looks like a map] This long solid wall lies across the river from Gateway Rock and has many top-rope anchors (five bolts) in-situ.

*2* Ow Now 11a The far left face. Natural protection. FA: Gary Clark
*3* Bovine Inspiration 5.9
*4* Cud For Lulu 5.8
*5* Pie In Your Eye 5.6
*6* Cow Flop Crack 5.8 The crack in the middle of the wall. FA: Clark
*7* Moon Over Belen 5.6Far right end.

Now, I don’t have a nice picture of the whole wall to be sure, but, i coulda sworn there was a 10c in the middle, and a 9 over on the right… Not that we did the 10c, or the 11a crap over on the left, but it was there all right. and that 9 in the middle, the fourth and last climb we did… that was damn hard; my back and legs and psyche are still crying from it… and i want to go back and do it for real, without the bajillin false starts, and the horrible sinking feelings each time i got above my last bolt…

But don’t get me wrong! it was an amazing day and if Christina or Julian happen to read this, then, thankyou! lets do it again sometime!
