Managed to get on Lichen It (5.8). Luckily no one has made it over here, but before I even finished leading it there were groups showing up at this area and putting up 2 ropes at a time. Gets crowded REAL quick over here. After Lichen It, Tracy took off to go climb harder stuff w/ Azure and Mac. Crystal and I headed over to an area to the left of Combination Blocks and climbed a couple routes that we didn't find in the books (5.7? & 5.8?). While climbing that heard my name called. Looked over and it was Tony Fuentes and Jeff Roach on that fun little shelf on the Sky Chimney route. Shortly after heard my name called again and it was Ben climbing Wherever I May Roam w/ his brother and his roommate Justin. Is my helmet such a give away? After that Crystal and I were able to climb 3 more routes back in the Cinnamon Slab area as the crowd dissipated and then finished off on Bunny Face. We hit the bridge to cross the river on our way out of the park as darkness fell, filled our water, and drove back to Skull Hollow for BBQ & beer. Crystal was itching to start into the bottle of champagne she brought to celebrate a full and challenging day. Glad we got in as much as we did today, because it did end up raining next day. So we packed it up and headed back to P-town next morning.
