The Weight of the Atmosphere

Packed the van with Evangeline, Joana, Brian, and Kenway to go to the NJRG. Brian had a hard time keeping the discussion within the PG rating and Joana had a hard time keeping the music selection within the PG rating, but we managed to get there in good time and had quite a few laughs. Miss Pssst joined us there, and it was hard bouldering from then on.

Gravity seemed to be cranked particularly high for me, as I kept on falling on every problem I tried, but everyone else seemed to have regular to light gravity going. After a few warm up problems, we quickly went on to attack V4s and above problems and sustained this until the end 4 hours later.

A few highlights were: the yellow problem with black squiggles going up the arete that Joana liked. The V5 (purple or blue) problem that took Miss Pssst one try and took me a million tries. The super crimpy problem that Miss Pssst almost finished. Then in the room above there was Brian's purple V5 madness that involve pinching the top of this giant hold. Kenway, Miss Pssst and I really liked the the V8 beige problem that none of us could finish but that she almost did. And there was the V0 for Evangeline that finished under the roof. There was also the elephants crack, but I'll let Brian describe that one in the comments...

Joana and Kenway also did a bit of TR but I didn't see any of it.

2 days later I am still tired...
