Diablo Canyon, September 16, 2006

Diablo Canyon, outside of Santa Fe, is our "local crag," so I don't usually bring my camera or take pictures there during our usual weekly sessions. Today, though, my ring finger was still giving me trouble during climbing, so I mostly just hung out and took some pictures from a lovely Fall Saturday.
