Finally got on some outdoor rock, Friday May 10. Climbed
Gooseberry (5.8, 250m: 7 pitches, mixed bolts and gear) on Tunnel Mountain.
What an awesome route. The fifth pitch is the money pitch. Awesome chert holds,
pretty burly for 5.8. Weather was okay, no real rain. Shared the route with two
other parties. Great day out.
