Thirty four degrees C, 10 am. Breakfast done and cleared up - usual score some people doing all the work. Campsite pretty disgusting. But I guess it's the end of the trip for quite a few...by the way the breakfast was good: rosemary potatoes, fried up from last night, revoluted eggs and half a loaf of bread each. Observation: food budget is not realistic. Needs to be more flexible. A dollar a day doesn't equal what one has to spend on food each day. In Turkey the food is relatively expensive. Hope for change in Iran.
Climbing in the Canyon region: 5c and wobbled up a really overhanging 6b, with one rest (I count this as a failure, but I suspect this is a la mode for sports climbing, at least on Hot Rock!). A nice 6a (I Hate Tourism), 5b, 6a+, 5c+, and finished the day with an awesome 5a 6b two pitch thing called Muson. Seemed to be overhanging for 35 metres. Genuine pleasure to climb with George.
