Andy Tuthill on the third pitch of The Labyrinth Wall

Andy Tuthill on the fifth pitch of The Labyrinth Wall

On Friday the 13th, Andy Tuthill and I climbed the VMC Direct Direct (5.11a) and The Labyrinth Wall (5.11d) on Cannon Cliff. We traded leads all day and neither one of us fell - not once! Amazing! Lucky 13!

Also, our northern compatriot Jean-Francois LaRouche du Trois Rivieres established some anchors at the Spider's Web in the Adirondacks. Now, the Fear and Loathing in Keene Valley/Mr. Rogers Neighborhood anchor resembles less a Rube Goldberg machine; and, one may link both pitches of Monkey See, Monkey Do; Drop, Fly or Die; Romano's Route and/or White Knight and lower off with a 70M rope. These routes may now be done as 35M enduro-pitches. So, get your new 70M Revelation and get crackin'! Mas, mas, mas!

Enjoy,

Will Mayo
