I'm 210, and was flying horizontally like a flag off the rock yesterday

We went down to elevenmile/spillway Friday, and bailed yesterday. It wasn't so much the 50 mph winds, it was the 50 mph dirt flying into your face/coffee/beer/tent.

I have fond memories of the countless days I've spent windsurfing on the lakes of Wyoming's high planes ! It was great fun in a desolate and striking setting with a crew of hard core shred heads!
Rock climbing or anything else for that matter in strong winds never really appealed to me much at all!

Pretty wild yesterday at Thunder, huge trees crashing down all day long. On the up side, it did make the temps tolerable in the sun.

Nothing new in this thread. As the astute author of Rock Climbing at Vedauwoo WY has noted on p.4, “However, the wind season (early January until late December) can be a bit trying."

Cheers,

Rapping off the Maiden on Saturday had to be the biggest swingset I have ever ridden!

No Slim, the poop chute is reserved for El Paso seeing as it is the colon of the United States.
