Let me introduce to you the Gorgeous Ladies of Rock Climbing (GLORC), not to be confused with GLOW – the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, although there are some similarities. Sunday was the first gathering of GLORC and included Smokey River, Daisy Dirtroad, Onyx 53, Clammy, and me – Daffin El Prado.
On Sunday we had our first GLORC gathering and went to Devil’s Lake State Park and set out to find the elusive Porkchop Buttress on the West Bluff. After wandering around over rocks, dense vegetation, and thorns and continually consulting the guidebook for three hours we finally gave up and settled on another location. We weren’t sure what it was called, but it was a great spot and worked well for us.

How fun! Need another pair of hands? I don't have any of my gear any more, but I'm a really good belay ...
It was great to wander around Chicago with you ... I hope to see the photos sometime!
