Vantage, January 23

We didn’t get enough sun here last week so Tony and I went again. He wanted to practice leading gear a bit more, and I will say yes to climbing about 95% (or maybe 99%?) of the time so he knew I’d be up for it (and would bring my rack…). Tony led Crossing The Threshold last week, so this week he got Party In Your Pants (which at 5.8 is the natural next step up). We’re going to be ready for Indian Creek in no time!
