"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Yucca Flower Tower to Great Escape, 5.10cWith Danny from Santa Fe. Great 4-5 day trip. Great Escape is the goods. Yucca Flower Tower is worth doing, but the Great Escape finish is a much better crack system, offering more sustained climbing. On the first pitch, stemming through the bulge is the crux of the Yucca Flower Tower route. The 2nd-3rd pitches make sense to combine. The start of the 2nd pitch offers a cool finger splinter, but the climbing eases off after that for the remainder of the route.
