Nice day at GB






After a rainy night and some real skepticizm on my part, we headed out to GB Saturday morning. The morning was pretty wet and finding things to work was a bit of a challenge. However, as the day progressed, things dried out nicely and lots of good climbing went down.

We began by working the sit start to our "Shade" problem. Many made great progress, but the send is still elusive. We then went uphill to try Snooze Button, but with the top-out still wet, we just worked out the lower moves for a while. Ben and Michael worked on a V10 by Fatwa and also a very fun looking project to the right of Snooze Button.

As Ben, Michael and Sandra moved over to some harder stuff, JP and I went back to his Bromance V5 to get some video of the sendage. JP quickly resent (video in previous post), but I could not make the big move. JP still has the only ascent we know of.

We then caught up with the others at the Speed Boulder. Ben was working Something From Nothing V11. JP and I did the V4 heel hook problem up the hill and a few variations thereof. We also sent a really cool arete behind that which I flashed and we estimated to be about V2 with some really fun moves.

We finished the day off with some of the best Burritos I've had at Azteca down in town.

Great Day. Good call JP.

Heading to Triple for the Monday holiday. Should be great temps.
