Ropes and sutures
Waded through traffic on a hot steamy Tuesday to climb at TRC with Jess and G tonight. Despite the in-car pre-grousing about people being over-worked and under-trained, the session went reasonably well. We hit up a series of lines on TR: 8, 9, 10, 10, 12 which for the most part went smoothly and in control. Threw a couple of V3s into the mix for fun too. We tried to pick a new wall for each successive climb, and found a good mix of steep stuff, slabs, and vertical. Rotating three people gave enough rest between climbs to keep the pump away. Jess took first go at most of the climbs and looked great, only running into trouble at height/reach dependent moves. The 12 (pink) was huge moves off a mixture of small crimps and big slopers, real fun climbing but we didn't make it more than about just past halfway - next time we'll try it fresh...

Yes, a Nears test!
The last 10 was good. Very tricky. I would have guessed 11a, but maybe I am just out of shape.
K, it looks like the SEM version of the laser is a different color http://www.campman.com/edelweiss-laser-96-p-995.html According to what they say, however, it would not have the bi-weave. But when you look here http://gearx.com/edelweiss-laser-bipattern-9-6mm-70m-dry-rope.html it looks like the SEM also has a bi-weave?
What's SEM stand for?
Wait, never mind: SEM is their middle- and end-marked rope, ARC is their bi-weave...
