Another quick outing to the City in April 2003. This time it was with friends, Mark and Natasha. We left in the early afternoon on Friday and came back late Sunday night. Shirley led some unknown 5.6 trad line on Practice Rock, Norma’s Book (5.6) on Parking Lot Rock, and we swapped leads on the 3-pitch Cruel Shoes (5.7) on Stripe Rock. I also led Hough’s Crack (5.7, next door to Intruding Dike). Good weekend of climbing but a bit early in the year (chilly!).
