So maybe it hits a 107 degrees fahrenheit in town; that doesn't mean a person can't find a pleasant place to be. Skip, Cindy, Tara, Shayna and I decided to meet at the crack of dawn, or 9 am, whichever we could manage, to increase our chances of finding a comfortable climbing place.
We met at Sylvan Lake and hiked back to the site of Pumpfest '06. The routes on the rock we picked were completely shaded until noon. Tara and I team-led the bolted route to the far right. We set up 3 ropes on permanent anchors. The belays were shady till shortly before noon, although we had to move very close to the rock.
After 1 pm good shade could be found in front of Krull's Market in Hill City. Interior cooling devices such as Bomb Pops could be found inside Krull's Market.
