A Word

View west from the summit of Rooster Rock (Aug. 2011).

On a pleasant afternoon in mid-August, we met up with our friends Clay and Alyssa for a(nother) post-work outing to Rooster…a detour really (on the way to get some evening beers). Last time we’ve been there was in 2005-ish. Rooster being the North American classic climb that it is, we ran into a trio of Mazamas including our friend George Cummings from the St. Petes adventure. A great way to spend a mid-week evening (even better than watching The Antiques Road Show!).
