Citypoint, Ropemaker St, London, UK

Climbing near Mt. Rushmore. Wish I could remember the name of this one... Pretty cool 5.9 though. Valdeez Overhang is the name of the climb.

A climbing sand dune just north of Racetrack Playa.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Racetrack Playa was the highlight of my trip to Death Valley. The "racetrack" itself is a playa (Spanish for beach), which means that it is a dry lake, which fills with water from time to time. Racetrack Play itself is famous for its "sailing rocks". They were first observed in "motion" in 2014. The researchers who observed the movement found that ice that forms over the playa in the winter break apart and hit the rocks on the playa as they are blown in the wind. The force from the wind-blown ice causes the rocks to move across the playa and leave their infamous race tracks.

KOP HILL CLIMB 2015

An annual hill climb has been running on Pea Royd Lane since 2004,

when club founder Stewart Smith began hosting it for his previous club Thurcroft CC.

Stewart also promoted the National Hill Climb on the same course in 2009 - Images taken from the 2014 Champs

Valerie on the same climb. Climbing for less than a year, and already nearly as strong as me. Sigh, to be young again.

Rope

A nice show of blooms at a clients house. Well known hybrids. She gave me the name of the growers, but I didn't write it down.

It was much cooler today and I was expecting warm weather and only had a lightweight shirt on so I put on a sweater my client offered to me that she was giving away. It has since become my favorite sweater even if it does have a turtleneck.
