I met Barry & his friends’ Mark & Jenny in Eldo for the day. Barry had to get back to Indy, so we stopped short of a full day of climbing. Mark & Jenny moved on to J-Tree to round out the end of a fabulous road trip. The day started out super cold (29 dF and foggy), and warmed up to just cold (upper 40s). But, the rock was warm to the touch as it had seen morning sun.
