JP nearly catching the Pistol Grip.
Ben with a proud send of a V9, Fatwa
After about half a dozen wet climbing days, we finally got a good evening of completely dry conditions, perfect for sending. And sending is what went down.
We began with some classic easier stuff. Some warm ups, the classic V3 andV4 and then a lesser known V2 and a first for us. It was a very fun problem just to the left of Scary Mantle-o. Kyle also sent a committing crimpy problem over by the warm ups that is of unknown rating. A good send, as the rest of us fell off a few times and never sent.
After warming up and getting some good videos of the send train, we went up for Ben's project - Fatwa V9. He worked it a few times to get used to the first dynamic move and then about 15 minutes in, he caught the edge, held the swing and sent his first V9. CONGRATS BEN. Good work.
JP and Kyle worked Pistol Grip a bit, but to no avail and then they worked a very committing Snooze Button V5, also to no avail, but good progress was made. Ben then went up to try to finish off his other V9 proj, Filter. He felt good on it but couldn't make the link-up. It'll go next time...
We are very excited for future DRY days to come. And hopefully the mosquitoes will subside as the summer progresses. THEY WERE BAD last night. I actually had to use bug spray for the first time this year.
