Warm Enough!
Today we set a new record. Annie and I climbed outside, on rock - the latest date in the calendar year ever for us. It was only about 31 degrees, but since we had a bluebird sky with relatively no wind, we figured the rock would be warm. We were right. We got to enjoy 2 of our favorite routes on our close-to-home cliff and it will now be duly noted in the climbing journal. We could hear ice popping free, breaking up and rattling down the gully in the distance - but our routes were safe from the falling, frozen debris. It was a real pleasure to be able to crimp and smear on the real stuff today. This is a rarity in Vermont only 9 or 10 days shy of the shortest day in the year.Follow @jeanclimbs
