Walt and I drove down early to get a good spot in the line to the Scratch & Dent sale at REI in Albuquerque. Henrik arrived at the same time as us and there was already a long line. When they opened it was just crazy. So much people and so much junk. I did not find anything worth buying. The others found some stuff.
We had brunch at the International House of Pancakes which is very close to REI. I had a stack of blueberry pancakes which were tasty and full of energy. The next stop was at the Stone Age climbing gym where I started out at their big boulder with sides of varying steepness. After some time Walt and Henrik gave up the rope and showed me another boulder area upstairs. There had been a competition recently so some problems had points posted by them. Our own competition was started by Henrik. There was a bunch of nice problems up here so we spent the rest of our energy up here. Too bad this place is 90 minutes from here.
Before heading home we grabbed something to eat at Kelly's in Nob Hill. We sat outside in the shade and the temperature was just right - really nice. They brew their own beer and had a large list to choose from.
