What a beautiful day on the crags! The rocks were warm, and everyone managed to climb some impressive stuff!
An early start on Sunday morning got us all to the parkinglot wall at about 8:30, just in time to snag some good climbs. Alex led up a 5.7 and a 5.8, while Kevin led the 5.2 on the right side. Later on, Alex put up a 5.9 as well, and Christiaan led the 5.7. We had a number of first-time climbers, or at least their first time outdoors, so it was very exciting to see everyone do the 5.2 with ease, and make their way up the 5.7 quite well. Many also climbed the 5.8!! After a lazy lunch in the sun, and a few more climbs when Justin and Peter showed up, we decided to call it a day somewhere around 2pm. Most folks headed back to Boston, while Christiaan, Polly and Lidiya headed for a quick hike up Rattlesnake Mtn. A great day for all!

Thanks for the great cimbs, everyone!
