That looks pretty grim. But the quarry was leadable? How about Eagle Eyes?

No leading, too thin and soft. Eagle eye was not even in. Only one line on the monster was doable but fun to blast up. Its gonna be worse this week

Climbed at Lone Rock today. Billy Breathes is getting real thin, probably won't survive the week. First Tube looked thinner (looking from the bridge - didn't rap down).

Wisconsin may not have ice but we were warming up our silo last Sat. evening by dry tooling.... cook out and bon fire too. Slack lining was a plus!

Lots of great tool placements on the silo. Both on cracks, steel bands, and the glue on rocks. Upside down hooks for crankin' on. Lots of fun it surely was.

Everyone:

Looks like we are going to have a last minute DRY TOOLING climb session this coming Sat. early afternoon(if it's not raining) and Sunday late AM and early afternoon. Looks like Sunday's weather will be nice so far. Let us know if you can make it!

That's October 13 and 14th. The fee is $10/person. Ice tools will be available to rent for just $5/pair. Helmets $3. Or bring your own gear.

PM me if you can come for location info. POST UP IF YOU CAN MAKE IT
