metromonday (01.11.10)

Sicksicksick, but still went to metro because... well... maybe it helps? (It didn't help. I haven't been able to get out of bed yet, or even sit up. Or think. Ugh.)

Arrived around 7:15 with Christianne, climbed more or less until close.

5.8 blue KoopaTroopaBeach. A really weird climb, fun. Didn't climb clean. Forearms hurt already, a remnant from ice climbing, no doubt.

5.8+ brand new pink one, long, near main entrance. Just the perfect kind of climb for me. Only messed up toward the end while reaching for a hand hold that was not a hand hold at all. Go straight up!

5.8 green. short route; one that Alice and I failed on before. Climbed cleanly.

5.8- pink. The one towards the back with lots of little handholds. Climbed cleanly.

5.9- white. The Filter is Broken (near the 5.8 pink love one). Sucked at it, but Christianne belayed me up the wall. Sigh.

5.8 red arret. Couldn't figure out the end... whaaaaat?

5.8+ new white one toward back right corner. Made it about halfway up, but couldn't survive the 2nd overhang.

Christianne successfully climbed 5.10a, 5.10b, and gave a 5.11a a run for it's money.

End-of-day-pull-up-attempt getting closer...
