I finally got out to Indian Creek. First with Stacy and Stephanie, then with others I met up with at the Creek (mostly Alf and Bob). It started out quite cold with a bit of snow but by the end it was quite toasty in the sun.

| I head up Chocolate Corner |
For the first week we were mostly climbing thin hands and fingers with climbs like Coyne Crack, Scarface, and Swedin Ringle. After that we tended to the wide - up to full on offwidths - like SC memorial, Big Boy, Big Daddy, Right Arm, and Sinestra... Good times. I even have a little bit of skin left and definitely feel like I have improved my technique a bit.
