"Watch Yer Topknot"

I am of course quoting the great movie "Jeremiah Johnson". Just goes to show that tough men throughout history have been sporting the 'Topknot'!
But I digress , the holiday weekend of Memorial Day came upon us and along with some new recruits we headed to New Mexico and The Enchanted Tower. We were not the only crew with that idea but the days were long and I think everyone got in enough climbing to satisfy that urge.

Of the crew of mountain men, and women, was Jonathan. Another high energy addition to the crew.

And then there was Hillary. New to the sport climbing game, but check out that Topknot. She's a natural!!
And then we have the Warrior Elite. Check out Kim sending "Shipwrecked" 12c. It used to be 12d but somewhere along the line got downgraded. It's not like the mono's got less mono-ie.
Look Ma, I can use photoshop!

I really like this next shot because of the rope. Kim can throw that rope out when I need it with ninja-like speed and Samurai reflexes. That's one awesome belayer!
