Climbing? What's that?

Hadn't been UP anything since last Saturday, and was able to round up a partner for the afternoon. She was even rustier than I, but we had a good session at the gym. Talked to some tanned and rested folks who hadn't been up anything for months, but had been traveling around over the winter months, to Hawaii, and I forget where else. Ah, I'd still prefer camping in J-Tree, any time, except when it's miserable there. Talked with a friend who's going to Indian Creek, Utah, for the big crack climbing. She said there'd been a not particularly pleasant development: People are now required to pack out all human waste. The logistical details are not enjoyable to deliniate. My friend and I who climbed the Grand Teton had to do this, but it was only for a couple three days. Well, it is easier on the environment, no scads of people burying their wastes, but could get nasty if you are staying for any length of time. One couple I know will be there for a month. No doubt they'll have to make..um... frequent offloading runs to the borderline. Ah, wilderness.
