Cruelly crystaline

A bit of a workout at the climbing joint; ruined on a couple of new routes put up by the kids' coach. He hath no mercy for the shortish. (The kids don't count, since they are as light as air). The skies today were lovely, but the air was sharp and cold. In a few sheltered spots we found a bit more warmth, and the sunshine did at least motivate our nonegenarian to walk a little bit further. She gave advice to the mother of a neighbor whose 58th birthday it was, regarding exercising: Move it or lose it.
