Whatever.

Jess and I were rather inconsistent today: a bit of good climbing and a lot of bad one. Our bag of excuses is full, but I'll spare you those.

We did the following:
Jess: 5.9, 5.10c (2F), 5.10b (F), 5.10a (with takes), 5.10c (F), 5.10a (with takes).
G: 5.9, 5.10c, 5.12a (1 take), 5.12a (F), 5.10b, 5.11c (F), 5.11c (clean on 2nd try), 5.12a (2F).

All the 10a looked fine for Jess, but somehow she couldn't go beyond that. I think we might have moved to quickly in level.

The first 12a I did was great. Slight overhang, very sustained, but nothing crazy. I fell 3 moves from the end. The last 12a I tried was much more overhanging and the move where I fell felt awkward, with my feet way out left and the hands need to move right on crappy crimpers. The other 12 I tried I kept on falling on the 3rd move and I really can't see how to get past it.

I don't know, Guillaume, sounds pretty good to me - you're getting way more climbing in than I am right now...

Are you missing the Frechette express or are you just too busy?

Probably going to South Lake Tahoe this weekend to climb, but first I have to go back and forth to Texas...

Been buried with travel and work. Two manuscripts need to go out, and I'm giving a talk in LA next week.

Want to hit TRC soon though, and maybe the Gunks...

Next week? When? Take another plane and come climbing with me!
