Two Wet Weekends

The last two weekends have been incredibly rainy. We managed to get out on both Sunday the 14th and Friday the 19th, but there was not a lot of good climbing to be had.
Sunday we went to Peter's Kill with a large group of about 10 climbers and the only dry boulder was a decent one with 2 V7s and a V4. All problems were classics but I had sent the V4 last year and made some decent progress but never finished the V7s.
Kyle, Sam and another guy named Josh all sent Tiger Style, but no one completed Delicate Soul. The V4 was a quick repeat for just about everyone.

On Friday we went to Great Barrington and again everything was wet. We spent a good deal of time trying to dry a few routes but they just were never dry enough to send. We decided to explore for potential new routes. We were successful. EXTREMELY successful. There are many great new lines to be cleaned and we are excited to go back this Friday to begin work on them.

...If only the rain would kindly stick to the beginning of the week, so that things will dry out for Friday and/or Saturday sends....
