for easter we climbed the 'eagle dance' on eagle wall in oak creek canyon. after a treacherous approach the climb is over 1000 feet of mixed trad and bolts on redpink sandstone. my thighs are so sore from the descent that i may honestly not be able to get out of this chair after posting this message. when closing time comes i don't know what they'll do with me. soreness aside, the climb was exciting and the sun felt lovely. can't think of a better way to spend easter... although i did have some mental images of the annual feast at grandmas while cramming a granola bar down my throat mid-wall.
the pics are: angelo on lead about halfway up the wall with orange/black rock and perfect skies, me stemming up a cruxy section, me on top trying to wash my hands in one of the last patches of snow on summit.
