Yes, Marcy, you're right about all the awesome shots like this -- but, since I didn't see any "storm gathering" ones, I added this, from Sat. evening after the cold and wind drove me down from Peacemaker!

This is the (well bolted 5.9 arete) that goes left of the 5th. pitch anchors. It offers a lot more exciting climbing than the standard finish..

New Year's gift: beautiful bluebird day delivers Daryl, Alex, and me to the top of an as yet unnamed, unrated Ayers route on the Sheepshead. What a great climbing team! <br>
