Re: Looks like

break and eat, break and eat...he/she devours it pretty fast once the stalk is broken...little different than talking photos of grizzlies, but just as entertaining to observe....cheers Sarah

Re: Wonderful

thanks Courtney, Zach and I climbed Cloud Tower yesterday, my 2nd time on the route in just a few days....he had been wanting to do it forever, like a kid showing his best friend a new ride...the blooms are at optimum right now at RR! got to love these temps to man, particularly for Vegas...cheers

Re: Wonderful

Agreed. It's been a great time to be out there. I've been hitting RR quite a bit myself lately. Though it's starting to get a touch brutal.
