Dave in Cochise - Part II

During the same trip, Dave had another friend join him to climb. 
Meet Mr. X.  Here he is with Mrs. X heading up with Dave to climb.
Cool photo of Dave with the Rockfellows
Heading up a pitch - looks like fun rock.
But doesn't look like fun weather!
Cool plates
You can see some folks across the way on a climb called Run for You Life. It has only a couple of bolts. If one fell, they'd take a long fall!
Mr X heading up
There's Dave
Top of climb selfie!
To get to the rappel station, one has to make a groveling move under a boulder.
These arrows show the climb they did that day.
Pretty sunset over Boxtop.

Heading in for more the next day.
The pink arrows mark the route they are heading up.
There goes Dave!
And Mr. X. I believe Mrs. X took the photo.
Hanging out
The base of the next route.
Gorgeous sunset
Another view of Cochise
Dave loving the evening
He headed to Sierra Vista to do some birding. 
You likely remember the blimp from earlier posts when we've birded at an old homestead here.
Dave was driving ultimately to pick up Quinn from the airport. He flew in to do his first climbing at Cochise.

And he enjoyed Dave's new port-o-pooper!
Back at Cochise. Quinn gets his first look.
Heading in
And heading up!
Dave
Quinn- seems he really loved the place.
It was a bit cool though.
There goes Dave
And Quinn
Summit Selfie!!
More climbing
Taking a break
And goofing off!
Heading up yet another route.
With Quinn belaying. Great trip!
