Before my oldest went back to college, he, I and one of his friends passed an evening at our favorite rock gym: Monster Mountain.  Been climbing there, off and on, since ’97.  It’s always had a great vibe for me, pulsing with great memories. 

 

 

Lately I’ve been tuning myself up to climb Devil’s Tower in WY.  Now this ain’t no El Capitan, which is strictly for pros.  But for a novice like me, the Tower would be a perfect climb.  Doubt if there’s time this fall, so likely next spring.  Been trapped behind this desk long enough.  I’ve built this bloody gallery up.  Now other people can run it.
