I Passed!

I feel free! No more climbing for the purpose of training. I can become a true climber again. Hell I could become a boulderer and never do an alpine route for myself again...not likely.

With the new time on my hands I think I will go try the route in the photo tomorrow. It is Sept. 23 and the ice is already well on its way. Honestly though, winter here in the Rockies is long enough that putting off cold climbing as long as possible is not a bad idea. An early season alpine route or two and I will seek out the warm rock of Yamnuska, the Ghost, Bataan, an Skaha.
