Rooster Rock — Rooster Rock.

Alright – I’m impressed. Not only have these guys not told us to f-off after our first climbing date, but they stuck around for two more. A record for us. Add to it the fact that they’ve been hitting the plastic bullshit a couple of times per (mid-) week and I’m pretty sure we have two new addicts on our hands. Spot on!
