"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Forest LawnWith Jonny J from Santa Fe. Great 6 full days of climbing in the east side. The new guide features a full page photo and exclaims this is the best pure crack climb (albeit short) in the park. It is a must for trad climbers. The only route I have climbed in the Stronghold that felt a bit sandbagged. Many will find it more of a 5.10 than a 5.9 lead. Worth doing to the top, many seem to avoid the 2nd pitch, but it is worthy.
