Pre-pork climbing

Took Metro-North up to New Rochelle to meet Joe at TRC for one last session before he goes back to Portugal. Spent some time top-roping, where we figured out our fingers were a bit too fried to be climbing long routes. Spent the rest of the afternoon bouldering, where Joe sent many V2s that mere months ago he could not start! Lots of interesting new problems; Joe worked on a long V3 that he managed to finish on his last climb of the day. I spent some time on two short V3s, and a really great V4- (green?) that involved a nice swing to a high-step. Burnt any remaining energy on a very short V5 that requires high-stepping while holding onto a really burly two-handed undercling. Good stuff. We worked a great appetite for pork-fest later in the evening at Momofuku Saam Bar.
