Ard Ay Repeated!

Clinton Martinengo made the 2nd ascent of Jerry Moffat's "Ard Ay" 8B at Topside on a sweltering spring day after numerous sessions to work the problem. To make matters even more challenging, the Argus Cycle Tour was happening the same day, blocking the normal access route to the boulders. As a result, Clinton was forced to do the long steep hike up from Boyes Drive in the heat!
