Climbing Big Chief
July 27, 2003
waking up in a meadow outside of Truckee
hiking to nearby Big Chief
picking a fun rock face
[Hannah, Jacques]
staying cool in the shade
[Gamba]
there are maybe 10 climbers here today
[and all seem to have Mission Cliff belay pass]
Action!
[my camera has a lens cover problem]

Hang on...there must be a way...!

[that lens cover again]
we hear a distant thunder storm
quite hot in the sun still
made it
[rest]
[Jacques]
Jacques is at it again
next up...me
secured
proper climbing shoes would help
5-9
I guess that's one way of doing it.
sky's the limit
Somehow, Hannah got a bit bored...so she started taking photos of other things.
going down
