Great day here, Saturday !!!

        I was first one out of the house. It had frozen HARD the night before, but the sun came in, streaming warmth. The Aspen & Cottonwoods had their colors screaming….and for a short time I had the Tower to myself….but that faded quickly. We knew that Weather was coming our way for the next couple days,  so the place filled up with folks from Gillette, Spearfish, Rapid & Billings. Good folks, all !!!... but a lot of them. Taking all day, and indulging in resting time, eating times and giving advice times, I managed to weave my way through their courses and found  “7 Summits”, on my own. Wore that green North Face turtle neck , and as the day progressed the temps chilled and I ended up with 4 layers on top and 3 on the bottom !!!

        The house is full with the Season’s Last Guests; a   Young Couple from Tennessee (Dave and Victoria found their way up EL CRACKO, with me on Friday and took up the Deadly Durrance Route ON THEIR OWN, on Saturday) Later that afternoon Dave hooked up with a very nice French Couple. The highlight was Dave leading the first pitch of SOLER!!, the 4 Polish Folks from NY (Hardman led the stem pitch on El Matador while the others top roped or looked on) and of course we coerced the French couple to come out of their tent and spend the night with us. Dinner was a fine celebration of a Great Day of climbing and everyone pitched in to make many dishes !!! It could only have been better if You were here with us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…But now colder weather is coming our way !!
