Just a word of warning for folks, we went up to Chinasmans Bluff on Tuesday. We didn't even tie into the rope as we got attacked by a nesting falcon while walking on the ledge between the start of Ravages and Third World Assasin.

It was pretty cool to get that close to a falcon but really wouldn't want it to go at ya while climbing plus we must have been stressing the pour bird out. It was the king/queen of the forest Exclamation Exclamation

Happy climbing Very Happy

Also, falcons are only birds, which is important, but still only a bird. Climb on
