Once again I've slacked on uploading new photos and now I've got a pile of them to post. We had another great sunny, colorful and occasionally cool fall. Thanks to all who joined us for rock climbing this past season. We're still guiding through the month down in the Gunks (thru our friends at Alpine Endeavors) and if rock climbing in the desert sounds like a great way to spend early November, give us a call asap - there's still space available on Alpine Endeavor's trip to Red Rocks (outside of Vegas) in early November, and we'll be there working and available thru AE. If you like the idea of cruising long rock routes in the desert- come join us!
