None of the little devils at Cannon today.

Back to Rumney again at wet Orange Crush today but I got only 3 bites in 4 hours in the noon to afternoon range. Deet is working again :)

I bet OC was pretty wet and seeping today.

a lightweight long sleeve shirt does wonders while belaying.. haven't worn Deet at Rumney in years.

OC was super seeping from the middle down to bottom of the crag - even Buried Treasure was seeping. The route Orange Crush was completely drenched and dripping. So I was shocked I got so few bites. Best of all no black fly bites!

Only had to deal with ticks and mosquitoes yesterday at Devils Den in New Durham/Alton.

No black flies on whitehorse. Just lots of ants on the lunch ledge!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
