Climbing Rocks

   
This past weekend Allen and I made our first trip out to Devils Lake. Its finally warm enough in Wisconsin to get outside a bit, and, I'll never miss an opportunity to get up on some rock. We kicked off the season with style; first I lead Double Overhang, a and 5.4 on Rainy Wednesday Tower, then we pulled False Alarm Jam a 5.6, and to finish things off, Allen lead Death and Transfiguration 5.5 down at Pseudo Hawks Nest.

The park is in an interesting in between season and I like it. Winter has ended but spring hasn't started yet. You can see through the forest, literally. Its the only time you can see the patters of fallen trees on the forest floor. Seeing through the forest as metaphor for life is particularly relevant to me and my life right now. I accepted the offer to attend NYU this fall. All will change, except the seasons and the forest at the lake.

Isn't spring time great ? I love hearing the birds again, and seeing the leaves bud on the trees. Alan will need to make a trip to the East Coast to climb the gunks!
 
Yes! I can not wait to climb at the Gunks again. Allen will have to join me. The Adirondacks were a great time this past summer as well. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some trips like this.
