So much happened this weekend that I think you had to be there.....
15 people climbing
27 new lines went up
3 new projects
and a ton of good memories.
I also added Mike May's Morpheus Preview 2 Video and Gabriel Cisneros' Video of the "Wise Man's Fear", "Diamond Engagement," "Hercules Hug," and "That Dope Line."
