Summary
Haydar & I soaking up the mid-winter sunshine at the base of Toys In The Attic (Feb. 2006).
In early February (2006), we went to Smith with our friends Haydar and Martin. Saturday was spent soaking up the sunshine in the main area (climbed Toys In The Attic& TR’ed some stuff nearby). Sunday was spent in the Lower Gorge. We climbed Wildfire (5.10b), Badfinger (5.10b), Gruff (5.10a), and I fell out of Cruel Sister (5.10a), which I have previous done several times without issues…Regression – oh well.
