More Grotto climbing, with Jeff K. - took his white, now a dusty brown, car this time. Wanted a go at the upper wall routes. Chicken Ranch Bingo, 10- we warmed up. Sidewinder 11d, I took some falls at the traverse. Jeff followed free. downgraded to 11b/c Squealer 12a, Jeff flashed this, I flopped around following (tired from previous route). Downgraded to 11c/d. JK - "Easier than Leave it to Beaver." Clip,clip, Wow 10+ - Both led to start warmdown. Geronimo, 11c Both "worked" to complete thrashing of forearms. Met a couple of young guys from Stockton who between them had 5 kids. When they couldn't get a babysitter yesterday, they had them all (1 - 8 years) up at the crag. Would have been a sight. Joel
