Wilder! Hope your state of mind is better for having taken a break, and that y'all went somewhere cool and had fun. Maybe had a margarita of your own? Yes, that's really me in the pictures climbing, with the exception of the Mt. Lemmon photo. The Joshua Tree face (called Stem Gem; "stemming" is a climbing technique involving bracing oneself against opposed holds) is one of the hardest boulder problems I've done. Boulder problem = climb that most folks do without rope because the top is fairly close to the ground, and the fall is not likely to cause injury. "It's not the fall that kills you, it's the landing." -- Pete Moss. In the case of Stem Gem, one slides if one greases off near the top and bounces a few feet to the sand. If one stays upright, it's not much of a fall, and the landing is flat and sandy. I'm not as bravely stupid as I used to be about high boulder problems; you needn't worry about me on that issue. Welcome back! Cheers, Tuck
