Thank you to Michelle, Lisa, and Dani who came out for the August 13 “Women Rock!” Course. It was a perfect day at Lower West Bolton– dry and sunny, but not too hot, and not too busy. We started off by going over the climbing basics, and climbed the Pine Tree Corner (5.7 with a 5.9 crux), and What’s Up Doc? (5.9). We then headed up to the top of the cliff to check out the anchors for those two climbs (two trees for WUD and two bolts for the PTC) and take in the view of the valley. We rappelled down Harvest Moon (80 feet), and then climbed back up, finding the very characteristic flakes of the route and practicing the layback technique (5.8)! Everyone did a great job! Thanks– you women rock!! ~Andrea Charest
