Description:
- Doug and I checked out Lincoln Falls. We made a couple of runs up the main gully. The area had become fairly crowded by noon. I hadn't been to Lincoln Falls all year so I was glad to get up there at least once. The curtain on the right was nonexistent. Doug led the first pitch of run one, and I led the second. After rappelling down the gully, we exchanged leads with each of us taking a slightly different line than previously climbed. The weather was great and we had a good time getting some practice in leading.

- I used my REI dividend and 20% off coupon to buy a new pair of boots. My old Salomon Ice Pro boots did great for several years, but it was time to get a new pair. I bought the La Sportiva Trango Extreme EVO Light GTX Duratherm Mountaineering Boots.
