Shirley starting up Wherever I May Roam's third (& best!) pitch (Sept. 2009).In September of 2009, after a long season of largely aid climbing, Shirley & I came back to Smith & did Wherever I May Roam route again. The previous time was just after we started climbing (2003 or so?) and it was quite the challenge back then. The climbing was still cool this time around with pitch 3 being the favorite.
