Nor'easter Climbing Festival (Sunday)

On Sunday, we again got up early and were the first ones to the mountain, however, the night of rain must have come in from a different direction because now everything was wet. We attempted one route that seemed dry enough, but it was just too difficult to make any good progress on with dampness all around. There was literally a waterfall coming down the route five feet right of what we were attempting. We decided to just pack it up and make the 4 hour trek home.

All in all, we had a great time and I believe we made the most of the weekend, climbing as much as possible and enjoying meeting the pros. We'll have to make a return trip to Rumney on a drier weekend to really get all the great climbing in that we missed out on with the rain.
