Norma and I cancelled our San Gabriel's hiking plans due to the unfortunate fire situation, and instead headed over to Suicide Rock for some climbing. We warmed up on Little Murdrers (5.3/5.5) and then climbed Graham Crackers (5.6) with a traverse to Yours (5.8 ). The humidity in Strawberry Valley was high from the effects of Hurricane Jimena but aside from that it was another awesome day in the great outdoors.

Great TR Dave,
Once again you and Norma are making me jealous In a good way.
Great Pictures.
If you are willing to teach and old dog new climbing techniques I would love to tag along the next time you do that or something similar?
Let me know what I will need and I will be glad to learn.
Thanks Lilbitmo
