First climb of the season.

Am I in the way?

After a weekend full of fun times at the computer, I took a quick break to welcome the 2012 climbing season with my favorite crag dog.   Practiced First Crack a few times in preparation for an eventual lead, and then moved the rope over between First and Second for a few face climbs that ranged from about a 5.6 to a 5.8.  Nothing scary, but great way to start the season!  Did I mention we were the first climbers of the day?

Ice crystals in the mud.  Cold, very cold.
