A little slab climbing to get the blood flowing - better than coffee!

Next day, we were feeling kind of beat. Hmmm, really otta do something before heading home. Since I had not done the forks of Shillelagh yet, we decided to go up and do one of them. We took the usual route up - something new!

Felt good to stretch the legs. We cut left where the main trail cut right, and sweated up a little slab section to get back to the main course of travel. Soon we were at the top and started down in. Long slings on boulders are the anchors here, and the raps were pleasant.
