The Enchantment Continues....

We returned to New Mexico and the Enchanted Tower this past weekend for more long, steep, pocket pulling. Kim and I decided to get on "Zee Wicked Witch" 12c, one of the 35m routes on the front side of the tower. Essentially 2 routes stacked on top of each other because of the Jack Daniels pit stop, rest, in the middle of the wall, this routes provides a good 20 minutes of time on the rock.
Both Kim and I sent the route in short time and then we moved onto another link-up, "Ripped-Van-Winkle" 12d. This route combines the first half of Goliath, with the second half of Zee Wicked. It provides a harder first pitch, no rest, and the same hard crux finish as the previous route. There was no quick send here but it is one big step closer to sending Goliath!
After the long weekend of climbing we stopped at our favorite Pie shop in Pie Town, NM, for a tasty treat before the long ride home. What a great way to finish the weekend!

and Happy Birthday J-Mo!!
