First Round of Photos

Day 1
Waking up to the sound of rain on your tent in the Potrero is unexpected to say the least.  Thankfully, we have plenty of climbing days to come and we were able to take advantage of the sogginess to fill our food supplies and settle in at the Posada.

By late afternoon, the temperatures were comfortable and the precipitation had stopped, allowing us to take a stroll into the canyon.  All the disappointment of a wet day were quickly supplanted by the unavoidable excitement that comes with looking at 2000+ feet of dizzying limestone.
Tomorrow begins the real fun, clipping bolts until we can clip no more. But at least we will be able to return to our exceedingly cozy new home at the end of each day...
I am also not sure if there is a finer room with a view anywhere...

  4. Looks like you have a good set-up there. Maybe we'll have to come crash it. You do any climbing yet?
