The rock is all limestone, which can vary from vertical, with very sharp edges to overhanging with large formations, called tufas.
Chris came up with the idea to do a climbing contest. Points were earned with each climb, more points for harder climbs and leads. The stage (daily) winner had to wear the yellow 'Leader' shirt the following day. Rich and Chris were the only two that ever earned the shirt.
This was a big leading trip for Miranda. She lead many 6b's (about 5.10c) and two 6c's (but had to rest on these). 6c is about 5.11
