Jamming

Fought off incredible FDR traffic in the frechettevan and made it to TRC in a surprisingly short time. Everybody's been on a bit of a layoff: Eric from the job search, Guillaume from work abroad, me from just plain work here, etc. Nonetheless, we roped up and did some climbing. Eric and Chloe hit up some 9s and 10s on toprope to get into the groove, and I saw Chloe repeatedly working the flying squirrel 11 (yellow) with the dyno finish - the crux is actually pretty down low, right past the first bolt.

Brian, G, and I hit up in order: 9- (blue, up the arch and traversing on the roof to exit on the other side), 11 (yellow, the aforementioned squirrel jump), 10c (orange, tricky pumping climbing through two roofs), and 12 (yellow/white). Brian tried his hand at a couple of his pet project 11s (orange, purple), which he is looking quite efficient on. Finally managed to latch the dyno on the 11, now just need to link it up. G had a great return session, working through the 11 and 10c, which I found a strenuous lead. The 12 just had me beat.

Haven't scrounged up a map of the gym yet, but we decided - between all the nutspeak - that naming the walls, while kinda makes me feel like a tool, would make writing about them easier. Nothing beats sitting at a computer writing about climbing indoors, right?

Anyways, some suggestions to start, feel free to suggest or comment:
* Death Slabs - the only slabby wall in the gym, back right corner
* The Gallery - right across from the front desk
* The Gunks - the wall on the right with the tiered roofs (where the orange 10c is)
* The Mad Russian column - to the left side of the arch when standing at the door to the locker rooms, where the dyno 11 is currently

Some of these are named for obvious climbing locales, toungue firmly planted in cheek. Ask G about the mad russians...
