Retribution
Hard night of climbing with G at BKB, felt nice to get some good climbing in after Tuesday's fiasco at TRC. We kept the intensity pretty high (4-5 range) but alternate with easier climbs (2) to keep the blood moving. Climbs in sequence below:
| steep wall | 2, 3 | good warmup, 3 was reachy, with odd hand sequencing |
| vertical | 2 | way awkward and off balance |
| back vertical | 4, 5 | 4 felt easy after the start, G killed it on the pinchy, crimpy, balancy 5 |
| front vertical | 5, 2 | couldn't figure out the high crux (5), reach way out L off a giant sloper |
| small cave | 5, 2+ | weird ridged crimps (5), requiring inward squeezing |
| steep wall | 5, 4 | out of gas and going through the motions |
| steeper wall | 2, 1 | up and down to finish it out |
Pretty beat at the end of it, but I thought we were climbing properly hard.

Nice summary K.
I still don't quite understand how one does the front vertical 5, but you sure came close to sticking it.
I think we just need a little more testicular fortitude (or reach).
Speak for yourself!
