Once again, it was time to head south. Jen and I went down with bikes and climbing gear. We got to use half of that stuff. On Saturday, we joined several friends and rode the down from Kokopell and out Porcupine Rim, which is perhaps the best trail in the state. Good times were had by all, as usual, except for the penny-size blister on Jen's hand. On Sunday we decided to do the North Chimney on Castleton Tower, but things didn't quite work out. After banding out the hike, we found constant 40mph wind at the notch with gusts in the 5os. Not to mention the two groups still waiting at the base to start. Not being equipped for anything else in the area (except the Kor/Ingalls route and I'm not climbing that POS again) and not wanting to make long rappels in super-strong wind, we decided to just hike down the sand blaster and drink beer instead.
