March 11, Global Village with the crew

I really dig Global Village. It has everything: easy sport, hard sport, and mid-to-hard trad.

We climbed Eureka! (bolted now, a new favorite easy sport lead), Father & Son (Eric led it even thought it was his first day out all year), Kentucky Pinstripe -- ack, hard moves above the first bolt -- and the two trad routes that make me sweat and drool, Vision and Jake Flake. Bill was our heavy that day -- it was good to have him, because I wouldn't have wanted to lead most of those routes. And here he is showing off his threatening eyebrows for Alice...
