It rained overnight and the ground is still wet. It seems to take a long time to dry around here. Yesterday we climbed as promised. It was a pretty good day. I actually led something a 5.8 or 5.9, depending on which book you believe, pitch with a crack corner crux (first pitch of Hi Coroner!). I ended up hanging on the last move, which I didn’t need to do because I could have stepped down and over and gotten some rest which was all I needed. Also, I had about six pieces in about 3 feet, so I could have just tried the move and gone ahead and fallen if that was what was going to happen. Still, I’m glad I led something and felt pretty good about how I’d done on the hard part until Todd claimed it wasn’t hard at all.

We also did Ye Old Apoplexy and Mother’s Day Party and Low Exposure and Laurel, all of which I fell on except Apoplexy. Yes, even Laurel. Todd had me trying out some new sequence of his which I didn’t like and then I couldn’t see to get my body and feet turned back around the way I like them.
