Way Back

I always wanted to check a location way back in the Absrokas.  Yes it is was a long hike in but hey sometime you gotta work for the goods.  We discovered some good and some incredibly sharp (slice your hand open sharpest rock I have felt except in the Caribbean) dolomite.  Despite the long haul in there are some worthy objectives both beautiful and geometric but I think it would take awhile to suss out the good from the bloody and evil you be the judge.

They are big and mean and full of teeth

Nice little warm up.  Hard to beat the view.

A not so warm up

These blocks are little

With little moves

and not much fun
