(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
Whoa. Climbing was badass this weekend. I'm super tired now, but I'll write down what I did so I won't forget... (Oh- this was down at Jackson Fall's, Ill)
Over the day and a half that I was there, I did 19 climbs- here they are in order.
Day 1:
- Unkown 5.8 lead (warmup)
- Fragile Egos / Into the sun - 5.10d tr 1 hang
- The drifter 5.11a tr
- American Handgunner 5.12a tr (we thought it was a 5.11) a couple of hangs on this one - tr.
- Blue Velvet 5.11d tr (1 freaken hang that wasn't even on the crux! my dumb fault that I fell)
- Express Checkout Lane 5.10a lead
- Unknown 5.10 lead
- 1/2 of "The bolted one" 5.11d (got up to the crux, neither Ryan or I passed it. He lead up to it, I just top roped)
- Unknown 5.10a lead
- Unknown 5.10 tr (one hang)
- Psychotherapy 5.10c tr (a couple of hangs)
- Group Therapy 5.10b tr
Day 2:
- Fine Nine 5.9 lead
- Lovely Arete 5.11a tr
- Hidden Treasure 5.12a tr - a bunch of hangs- but I made all the moves!
- Velvet Green 5.12.a tr - freaken hard climb that I had to grab a couple of draws on to finish.
- Master Marley 5.10a lead.
- The Stain 5.11d tr- a couple of hangs, but I made all the moves
- Fancy Feet 5.11a tr- this one was pretty hard, especially since I was so tired, a bunch of hangs.
It was a great weekend.
