"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

SandcastleWith Michelle P. During a six day period in mid February 2011, in an attempt by me to tick off the remaining routes on the Brownstone Walls, I climbed Mayday Malefactor (5.10c), Sand Castle, Ten Minute Shift (5.11b) and Time’s Up (5.11d). This was the least desirable of these four, and the worst route on Brownstone Walls I have climbed to date. Chossy rock in general along with run outs. Seven big horn ewes were feasting on the bushes at the base of the walls and a pair of (competing or breeding) peregrine falcons made tremendous racket during mid February as well.
