Comments: I got washed through those rocks in the foreground last Friday evening!
It's truly a helpless feeling to be bouncing off those boulders at the mercy of the ripping current while taking head high peaks on the head! All you can do is stay calm,not fight it, and go with the flow!
I finally washed out on the other side of the point unscathed. I eventually got a water start and sailed for another hour and got some great mast high waves before dark. No harm no foul!

Comments: Keep on posting your stuff, Bob. You're the real deal!
Beagle, A.H. is a long time friend and personal hero of mine as well. He is one of those folks that would pop up in strange places. I remember he was working in a "Burnstine Appleby" electronics store in Cynderella City shopping mall back in the late '70s. He got me into climbing the cracks between support posts below the parking structure of the mall. Turned out to be good crack training. One of his Eldo. routes "----spar" I posted an image... more >>

Comments: Allen that is a terrible place to bivi. Did you even have rain gear?That ledge is not a bad place to re rack and get going. I wouldn't want to do that runout face on the last pitch in the dark or in the rain. I am sure that to staying put until morning was the right choice. So close, yet, so far away!
