Devil's Lake, May 2010

Above - Katie following me up some easy thing at the Railroad Amphitheater.

I had a completely wonderful weekend in Devil's Lake last month, and the wonderfulness went so far beyond the amount of climbing we did. It was a sheer pleasure to drive down there with my friends Shawn and Katie - with whom I have shared so many great climbing adventures. Just travelling together, camping together, hiking together... And we managed to find the Lost Face on the West Bluff (which was an accomplishment in itself). It was just great to be outside with friends. A restorative experience and one I wish I could have every weekend.

Hiking to the Railroad Amphitheater, a site of some great climbing routes.

Gear, beautiful gear!

Me following the Lost Face Overhang. Supposedly 5.8?!! Ha!

Shawn leading Lost Face Overhang. Did an awesome job.
