Cochise Stronghold, December 26-29, 2010

Aaron and I headed off to Cochise for this year's winter vacation. I only climbed one day but Aaron got in three good days, partnering up with Ed while Viv and I took it easy.

Swirls in a tree trunk near the base of Endgame. Aaron and Ed did some mix-and-match climbing on the Rockfellow Dome, with some pitches from various routes.

Pretty creases in a rock across the way.

I sort of see a stick figure in this rock.
