"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Early WormWith Mark B. Good line by Dave Thomson. Sustained by Canadian Rockies standards I thought. Rock was a lot sharper than I had hoped for. Those slab routes to the right are on much softer rock. Little chossy yet to. Will take some traffic to clean it well. All the pitches were making you work. The last bit, below and above the short finger rail, I thought was the crux, but I might have just been tired, little sleep and too much climbing if there is such a thing. That 2nd lead worked me as well. Cool goat situation going on to the right over the slab routes. Kid goat cliffed out I think, crying to the small herd above.
