Wayne and I climbed the third flatiron on Friday. We had lovely fall weather and came across very few people. It was great to swing lead with Wayne. He hadn’t led this route before, so it was fun for him too. I did the odds and he did the evens.

Gary was kind enough to help lead a group of my Basic Rock Students up the First Flatiron. We climbed the Fandango Variation route in two teams of three.
I had Michael and Chris (Team Rich Chile Caramels).

Team names were generated using our names plugged into an anagram machine (found online somewhere!).
Dennis and I flew to Detroit to see a Monday Night Football game, Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears, at Ford Field. We stayed with Aunt Jean (what a gracious host!) and visited with family. It was so nice to catch up with everybody.
