04_17 to 22_2012 Climbing with R Accamazzo in J-Tree & the Fish Compound

One day we needed to swing by the FISH compound. While there, we visited with Medium Sooze and Dave got to see the workshop. It's half workshop and half climbing museum with lots of fun stuff around to look at.

We stayed until Dave got woozy from startvation. Mostly  because Sooze had a mystery bird in a tree we were trying to see. It skulked around silently but we did finally make an ID: Hooded Oriole. Really pretty bird.

It's where the magic happens! :)

We spent one day climbing with Rick Accamazzo. Felicia and Greg joined us later.  I can't remember the formation, but the hike - pure horror. It was all of 25 yards maybe. Luckily we brought enough water.

So, there is another photo of me climbing. Take a good long look - there are not many as I didn't climb much. My feet and the difficulty of the stuff we got on sucked the desire out of me. Still it was nice being outside and watching birds. Saw a Wilson's Warbler in a tree next to this route.

Before giving it up for good. It was already Sahara Hot!

Rick led this route with a slabby crux. Bleck.

Up he goes!

This was from the FISH compound but could have had some bearing on the day's climbing. :)

Bird watching...or something.
