Lunch pail night

G and I tripped up to TRC (referred to by Ryan oh-so-cleverly as our mandate). Because it was just the two of us, we rotated through climbs quickly, perhaps a little too much so. Also started off a little stiffer than we should have - though the first climb (9+) felt fine, it sent the pump clock ticking. Led a series of 10s afterwards, including one which felt like an 11 - nonobvious sequences, tricky clipping stances, small holds. G was climbing better than me, I was pretty fried from the morning.

Lead: 9+, 3x10
TR: 12

Good opening moves on the 12, but tricky crux halfway up that neither of us could unlock, though G was close by the end. Awkward off-angle slopey holds on a slightly overhanging wall; less pulling strength than trying to find the right application of force.

Felt like work tonight.

Indeed. Felt like work, but at least we pushed through.
