Birdsboro Quarry Climbing

Once again the crew decided to get some rock climbing in at Birdsboro Quarry. And of course the forecast changed at the last minute to include rain. And super cold temps. So we all decided to go up early Saturday instead of Friday night. John and I didn't get much climbing in on Saturday as we set up camp and tried to get some dry firewood for later. That evening we got scolded by a nasty park ranger for drinking beer....won't be going back to French Creek! But Sunday was a wonderful day of climbing. Had to wear a winter coat when not climbing, as it was pretty chilly, but the day was rain free until we get ready to leave. I did the "baby" climbs, and one that was challenging. I finished them all without falling! Though Kevin really wanted to to fall on the hard one. I simply took a super long time figuring out a move before going for it. I almost did an even harder one, but was tired so I knew I would fall and opted for a good medium climb instead. It's hard going out with people who are all way more skilled, but they dealt with my newbie status well.
