Seeing as how I'm addicted to getting my climb on and Alisa has a day off, we plan for Cerro Ventana's sport climbing walls that just happen to overlook Cerro Otto, Cerro Catedral, and shimmering Lago Gutierrez. We don't pull too hard on the routes but just warm up to this summer climbing season and the windy conditions at La Ventana.
We also try out the new 9mm 70m dry rope that dad brought down. Lo and behold, it makes a tremendous difference! While unknotting it from the package is like wrestling a pile of snakes covered in Elmer's Wood Glue, it offers negligible weight and resistance while climbing and clipping, which has become habit and Pomp'N'Stance for my 10.2mm 60m Metolius rope. Oh well!
We'll be back to Ventana again for sure, especially since these gorgeously located pocket-ridden routes offer difficulty from 4's to 8a's (That's french for easy to hard).
In the meantime, we're busy thinking of our plans for the future (southern Patagonia trips, local climbing, Thailand, etc.) and friends and family back home, some of which are heading down for a visit soon!
WACHAMO!

Skrafamie! Hasbatooty!
It´s the final cave, I mean phonecall, in which you´ll find the job. Persistence is defined this way. Also, the more phone calls, the more rungs on the ladder you´re going up! Keep up the good talkin´!
Tell LaLa I can send him a stick I found if he wants something good to bite and give the surgery a drug-free go-at-it! The stick is tried and true. Plus I think our teeth are near-same. He has top and bottom, just like me--I noticed.
Haha. Weirrrd!
Any farmers markets in CA?
Also..don´t thank me! Thank you! It was really awesome having you here and I wish you still were!
