If you're ever back at Potrero check out the route called "will the wolf survive" it's right at the base of the rappel route for estrellita. <br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-89908664320401716672010-03-29T10:25:26.888-07:002010-03-29T10:25:26.888-07:00@R3 - We would love to take you up on that!@R3 - We would love to take you up on that!Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711381613361196152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-49166910960736287762010-03-29T08:28:08.497-07:002010-03-29T08:28:08.497-07:00Great story, I've often wondered how names com...Great story, I've often wondered how names come about on boats.. many have storied that touch the sole..

We're definitely getting closer to making it all happen, but I imagine it will be at least a year (if not more) before we'll be able to set sail.<br /><br />In the meantime, we blog and read blogs like yours to keep us motivated!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163881120683653083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-68043621437316661332010-02-12T00:14:54.655-08:002010-02-12T00:14:54.655-08:00@Mike/@Lotten - Thanks.

I'm not either of us would call Estrellita our favorite climb (chossy hiking sections in the middle) but it has some great pitches, a great summit and of course, a great memory for us.Liviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711381613361196152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-8254861565304063262010-02-11T14:38:03.500-08:002010-02-11T14:38:03.500-08:00I had been meaning to ask.

Just below the crux, he bailed. He built a lowering anchor, untied from the rope, put the rope in his teeth for just a moment... and then answer a question from his belayer. Ture story. He had to wait ~ 30 minutes while others hiked up the backside and lowered a rope.Drew Fryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013965677534522281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-2696414463638573382010-02-10T14:20:27.725-08:002010-02-10T14:20:27.725-08:00Now that is a splendid reason for naming a boat th...Now that is a splendid reason for naming a boat that exact name :-) Thx for sharing!Lottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306305442000215390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178563583693618350.post-23388917764235964252010-02-10T13:08:25.516-08:002010-02-10T13:08:25.516-08:00Great story.
