Alabama Hills and Tollhouse

With exams graded and the semester over, Teresa and I headed over to Lone Pine for a couple of days of climbing at the Alabama Hills. The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for a couple of days of clipping bolts

 We spent a full two days climbing, we did a nice mix of easy routes and some of the "harder" routes at the hills. Teresa even did a bit of leading.

Stick clip!

Penny came along of course, and got some good sleeps in

Sleeps?

We checked out some area I had not been to before, including the eye of Horus,  and we tried (and failed) to find the Oz wall.

What should we climb next?

 We a great time! When we got back, I still had some free time, so the following day I headed out to Tollhouse and climbed a bunch of easy multi-pitches with Lauren. We were treated to some cool clouds and fog in the valley
