Sinocranium — Come on man! Crank up the AC!!

Quick in and out to the City Of Rocks in July no less. Hot but we were looking for some solitude considering our beasts are not fully domesticated. Early morning jog up the pretty decent Sinocranium (5 pitch 5.8) on Steinfell’s Dome. Holy shit: can’t believe it’s been 10 years since our last CIRO trip.
