Mickey's Beach + Photos from the past couple of days

Thursday was the last dry day for awhile. The rain is currently pissing down on the Bay Area and the entire coast (so I've heard).

Will, Bryan, and myself went out to Mickeys for the day. Bryan has never been so it was a good day as any other to get some climbing done. Or try to at least. The north side of the boulder was wet from the previous rains. Bryan did mange a good go on the easy sit near Bound By Tension, but came within a hair of sending. He was psyched none the less and really, that's all that matter that day. The temps were perfect but the wind made it feel colder. It was hard as hell to warm up and having a bum toe didn't help either. But we managed and pushed on. Will is hellbent on Orange Buddha Arete. He's put in four days of effort on this thing. Granted it's not the BEST problem in the world or the most photogenic, but he's put in too much effort to give up. I really enjoy climbing with him and Bryan. No pressure, no "I have to do this before you or I'm bummed" that I get with some others I have climbed with in the past outside.

Nothing.

We crack jokes all day long and don't give a fuck. Yes, we want to do the problems. But we wont be bummed if we don't. More like we wont let it get to us or mope about it on the drive home.

Anyways, here's some pictures I took this week and last (I think last week...I can't remember).
