Buds & Blooms

Easter weekend in NC was truly a treat, despite heavy rains on Friday. Phil and I headed to the North Face of Looking Glass in search of dry rock, climbing North End classics like Invisible Airwaves and Waverly Waster. Two crews were working their way up the Glass Menagerie, reporting that the top sections remained quite wet. Still, it was a great day and the trees are really starting to bud, even though from the Waste Ledge, it doesn't yet look like spring. Anyone heading out right now should know that the black flies are pretty fierce at the moment, so pop in the shop for bug spray, beta, a hat or a hooded layer.
