Moan & Windy BM 11/22/2021
Over the railroad tracks..
And into the boulder paradise.
That is the easy way up.
We are in rocks and cacti.
Some boulders on sides.
Looking back down.
Are we out of it?
Not quite yet, we are going up there.
So far so good. Martha is still smiling.
This is getting more interesting.
It is doable, I am up.
It’s on all four/eight.
Martha is getting stuck.
Made it up. There is a partial view of the trestle.
Rocks everywhere.
Our group on 3053.
Alternate way down.
Boulder hopping.
We meet on top of Moan with rest of our group.
Continuing down.
Still in rocks.
John made it to Windy via his easier route.
After short lunch Kerry is heading down to meet with Wit.
Rest of us is getting ready.
Made it down, where are they all going?
We are attempting another mass suicide by Heaven’s Gate Tunnel.
No train came so we have to walk back.
On a road again.
Armadillo Rock.
Still lots of nice boulders around.
All back and in our car’s shade.
