From the Planet, to the Brain, to the Death Star...

It was only Brain and I yesterday. We were both slightly inebriated, but that did not stop us from having a great evening.

Started on lead with two clean climbs, a 5.9 followed by a 5.10 (blue and pink in the entrance). It was the first time either of us made that 10 clean and it felt surprisingly good. We then both gave a try to the 11 black and teal and each had to take one rest.

We followed this by 2 bouldering problems: a V2 and a V3. Both in the section where you can top out.

We came back to leading. I worked a 12 brown that was hard, required contact strength, endurance, and calm as the clips were SCARY! This route involved going from the purple planet (matched hands) to the blue brain, then the death star (match), followed by a 2 fingers pocket (clip), then a couple of move to the Navajo block (clip)... Pumpy. Dave seemed excited to see someone try it. Brain attacked the 11 brown in the entrance. I followed it with a pathetic attempt at the long 11 camo and Brain finished with an impressive send of the blue 11 (straight up where the blue camo starts).

We went back for a bit of bouldering. We tried the brown peanut problem which we couldn't send. We finished with a blue V3.
