We spent the Memorial Day Weekend in 2003 in City Of Rocks along with our friends Jeff A. and Jay C. We climbed Wheat Thin (5.7) on Elephant Rock, Delay Of Game (5.8) on Parkinglot Rock, Theater Of Shadows (5.7) on Jackson’s Thumb, some unknown 5.6-5.7 crack on the backside of Window Rock, The Classic Route (5.7) on Lost Arrow Spire (first pitch led by our friend Jay) and the classic Intruding Dike (5.7).
