Summary

Shirley finishing up the short but pumpy Culls In Space pitch(5.10c; March 2007).

A day of climbing some obscurities on the west side of Smith Rock in March of 2007. Shirley & I climbed Culls In Space (5.10c) high up on the west slopes of the Smith Rock Group and tried the Doctor Doom (5.9) off-width…Things did not go so well on this one so I bailed off the somewhat scary pitch 2.

Shirley pulling out of the dihedral near the end of Culls In Space...this was the crux IMHO (March 2007).

Leading the money pitch of Doctor Doom (5.9)...pretty much as high as I got before chickening out and bailing (March 2009).
