Summary
Shirley & I had a pretty good day in the Lower Gorge in March of 2008. Shirley sent the classic Wildfire (5.10b), I did good on Rim Job (5.10b…tried it before but did not send it) and Shirley led Last Chance (5.10c, with a hang…next time).Photos

Shirley seconding Rim Job (5.10b) - thin crack moves between good jugs...harder if you're short & can't quite reach those jugs (March 2008).
Last Chance

Shirley giving Last Chance a go. Hard, sustained, and a gorgeous route - fingers & thin stemming for 80 feet, yes most of the cams on her right were not too useful...but we've never done it before. Long range view of route is here (March 2008).
