all told the weekend rocked. cold as panda balls, but the company was high quality, the scenery spectacular and the intentions good. had some mondo good (WARM) breakfasts a la Cathedral style. got my lead on (did my first 'big girl' 9). figured out the finer points of the beer belay (no climbers were injured in the making of this blog). met a gazillion dogs, only one of which was dead...and got some great shots.

Cool photos. I've never been to New River Gorge. Congrats on the 9? Were you leading trad? I can't do it. I don't have the head for it.
airing out,
ooooooooh no! a 9 trad lead would've been stellar (I don't have trad zen, either). It was just a regular ol' sport lead. my third outdoor ever.
I was shooting for a 10, but wised up after a fall.
next time...next time, I tell ya!
you hear that? I think the New River Rendezvous is calling your name...
I have another commitment the weekend of the rendezvous. Some of my peeps will be there though.
