Last Tuesday, when most of the student body was off, film-maker Donald Reed, two foreign students who couldn't get away (Chiye Huang and Urgh Ruangsakul) and I went to the overhanging wall behind the tennis courts (overlooking Wildcat Hollow) and tried to climb it. Got to within two moves of the top. The next-to-last hold is small and sharp, but I think this is definitely do-able at some point - just not by me yet. 

No hot-shot climber is going out of his way to do this; I'd guess it's V5, at best.  We used a rope, because it's tall-ish and has a rocky landing.

Since then, I was up in Rumney, NH, with the Berkshire School climbers.

 We got snowed off the cliffs, came home on Sunday, to no power, no school, no heat, no (gasp) internet.
Things may be back to normal by Wednesday.
