Men At Work

I've finally been able to get back out rock climbing! If I were still in NH there wouldn't be any climbing going on, unless I wanted to take up ice climbing. But I'm in Mexico now and Mike Kelly, Ryan Worley and our friend Sergio have found something worth tearing up our hands right here near where we live. Granted, rock climbing isn't as common or popular here as in NH so the local "crags" are untouched, loose, crumbly and dirty. Some might be tempted to call it choss, but it's what we've got close to home and it'll do. It's actually pretty good once you get it cleaned, which is an ordeal but totally worth it to be climbing again.

This crack is on a bluff out behind the hospital, and today it was sunny, hot and windy. We haven't given this a name yet, we're saving that for the first ascensionist, but I suggested "Men At Work" due to the dangerous nature of the falling rocks and the necessity of a helmet. And, this has worked us all over for two days of climbing so "Men At Work" is appropo.
