Went to the Gunks with Lindsay. We spent Sunday night at Camp Slime. Monday morning we were climbing by 8am. First climb of the day was Grease Gun Groove. For some odd reason there were moths swarming everywhere. I managed to drop my camera from the first belay. Crud! The first thing I've ever dropped while climbing. The camera actually still works, but the lens cover and flash are shattered. I was most disappointed that the film in the camera came out and was ruined. Lost some good photos, including some potentially great shots that Jason took of me on Le Teton. Sigh. All the pictures in this album were taken with Lindsay's camera.

Next we climbed Disneyland. The day was getting hot -- 95F and 95% humidity. Linz and I went for an amazingly refreshing swim over at split rock. Then we climbed Bloody Mary. The first pitch is probably the most intimidating 5.6 I've ever led. The scrunchy traverse under the roof was unnerving, and pulling the roof is 5.6 if you find the magic hold and probably 5.9 otherwise. We were able to enjoy many blueberries on the relatively unclimbed second pitch. Bonus!

Then Lindsay led Classic, which I claim has a scary start. After that we found Jason, Paul and Jeandrew with a TR set on No Solution. I was able to try it by headlamp after the sun set. Was surprised to get all the way to the roof. I nearly pulled through it, but I'm just not flexible enough to get my right foot up to the big hold on the lip of the roof while pulling on the crimpers just above the lip. We took down the toprope at 9:30pm and drove home. Late night. Excellent trip. Nice final activity before heading to Australia.
