First fiddle on this thing, it felt super hard for the grade - but everything went together nicely on a 2nd lap.
Had a redpoint burn to end the day - through first crux to rest nicely, then gassed out before the crux because I got my feet all mixed up. Another session or two should do the trick |

Always a jug when you need it. Fell at the second bolt on the flash, almost decked, lowered to the ground then pulled back on and went to the top... slowly and in the full sun sweating like I was in a sauna. No such thing as bad conditions.
|
|||||||
25 | ★★★ Dark Energy - with ryan holm | 22m, 13 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
would be 3 stars if it didn't have a sit down ledge (and maybe a touch harder). Punted the onsight on the last hard move right below the anchors. Second go as the thunderstorm rolled in and rain was hitting the head wall, just squeaked it.
