So this last weekend didn't exactly go as planned. After two days in the car we were able to make the easy five and a half hour drive to J-tree. 20% chance of snow at Black Mountain over the weekend very quickly became 100% screwed for climbing. 20% sounds like some snow flurries but apparently really means snow all day everyday.
Yesterday Sam T. got the FA of Exit Strategy, an old project at West Elden. A new sequence has made the imposing line possible. The project to the right still waits for some one to stick the first move and try the crux second move.
