Late November in the Trailers

Yesterday I headed out with T-willy to the Trailers for a bit of a circuit. The day was calm and sunny, it was nice to be climbing in a tshirt again. As of yesterday the Desert was dry and the Trailers are mostly dry with a light dusting in places.




Blood Feather, Dagmar's Boulder


Cobble Problem, Teardrop Boulder



We ended up climbing around 15 problems, though I only dug the camera out twice. All and all a nice day moving over warm stone.

A Batholith "Standard" for overnight/long-term staying in the Batholith. Tom's luck and research landed a nice vintage '67 made by Aristocrat--Shasta made a version as well during the mid-'60's though the sales (and quality?) were less...



These units were garageable with interchangeable steel rims--uber cool :-)
