It is never more easy to have a good start to the year then when the seasons change early.  Yesterday Zach and Steph and I went out to Rumney for another day of climbing since I had such a good one last week.  It was cold in the morning and then the clouds blew off and it was really nice.  We ended up at the jimmy cliff on Lonesome dove (5.10a) just because finding something dry to climb is always the hardest part after a day of rain.  I feel like that is such an east coast statement but here it is such the case.  It is not some desert area where the weather is always good.   After the sun did finally blow off and the sky turned blue the cliff almost immediately dried off which was nice for the end of the day.  It was a good practice day of staying motivated in slightly sub par conditions. 

This morning I am just letting Steph get some extra sleep while I post to the blog.  Once the weather warms up we are planning to hike Mt. Mansfield.
