Write Up:
We made the best of a very windy day on Mt. Yonah!  The wind threatened to blow us off the rock a few times, which prompted some of our group to rest and enjoy the amazing view.  The Lowers provided a break from the wind at the end of the day when John, Lucinda, and Adam tried a new route there. 

John, Keith, Adamn, and Todd did a multi-pitch route on the cables with plenty of safety gear to prevent a 200+ ft. fall.  Afterwards they rappelled down to the middle of the rock face and set up a few top ropes for the rest of the group.  John taught Adam how to set up and take down top ropes. 

Justin, Keith, and Ned got to practice leading a fun sport route, and Keith bagged his first unassisted outdoor 5.10 climb! 

Thanks everybody for the great company and attitudes.  Take care of those wind/sun burns!
