Feels much harder than birth canal. Exciting to start projecting this one.
	25	★★★ Reincarnation - with Leonardo Correa	Sport 20m, 8	★★★ Classic	TG
Sustained. Can almost get to the big move at half way clean. But the top is hard
	25	★★ Birth Canal — 3 attempts - with Leonardo Correa	Sport 20m, 7		TG
Came very close to getting it clean on the last attempt, just slipped off doing a bump. Need to get on lead next!

Played around with several different ways of doing the crux, but all feel equally hard for me. Couldn’t actually connect the move today. Would love a beta lifeline for this one!

	23	★★ Bird Lime - with Jay, Artem Yunusov, Errol Pineda	Sport 14m, 7		Chuck
Completely juiced after Lime Hill. Dogged the first move, rested in the cave trying not to look at all the pigeon shit and just couldn't do the last 3-4 moves to get to the anchors without pumping out
	23	★★ Lime Hill - with Jay, Artem Yunusov, Errol Pineda	Sport 12m, 4		Chuck
Interesting start rocking over to a right foot and trusting I don't slip. Two big moves to jugs that I had to work on and then had to do some weird shit to get to the anchors. Thanks Jay for placing draws and the psyche!

Excellent sustained climb with assorted type of holds. Still need to figure out how to clip the 4th bolt.
	23	★★ Cabbage Patch Kids — 2 attempts	Sport 8m, 3		Leonardo Correa
Good climb, steep on great holds. Doesn’t feel like a 23 though. Almost got it on the second attempt. Need to trust more on the hold on the left.

Cool climb with interesting moves. Not sure what holds are meant to be off limits. Seems a little easier than Reincarnation and Arrested Development

	V8	★★ Mr Miyagi	Boulder	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
Very close to the send, but dabbed a foot on the cut loose move so can’t count it. Figured out some tricky beta that should help next session.
