Thomas and his girlfriend Amy were in San Francisco and the need to climb was overpowering. A large group including Amy G, Amy L, Karl, Kirsten, Leslie, Sarah and Thomas convened at Summit Rock for a day of cragging. We went up Santa Clara Practice Climbs 1 & 2 (5.7, 5.8), Ribbed for Comfort (5.9) and Bolt Filcher (5.10d). Excellent deeds were done with first climbing trips (Amy L), NWLs - aka No Whining Leads (Kirsten), complex balancing acts (all on Bolt Filcher) and fascinating non-whaling moves (all on Ribbed for Comfort). Conclusion: climbing with Thomas is just as fun in SF as it is in Mexico. Another trip must happen soon.
