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).
