Wednesday: Success! We managed to go climbing. Yesterday's recon of Lily Lake paid off. We made it to Jurassic Park without incident. Good sport climbing (100 foot routes) and beautiful views. Seems like 80% of climbing involves sitting around (the other 20% is blind terror) so it's nice to have something pretty to look at. Due to time constraints (Kid Camp is 10 to 4) we only got two pitches in, but a fine day nevertheless. Babs and I don't get to climb together much anymore so when we get the chance, it's savored.
