As mentioned in the last post, finally managed to get out and do some climbing this weekend. In fact, I climbed until my arms no longer functioned... which sadly didn't take too much. I've lost a lot, but that just means I'll get to get excited about even more progress.

- *Put Down Your Ducky* \- 5.8 \*\*
  - Took co-worker Casey out for a classic 5.8 ride during my first week of work. Anyhoo, this is potentially the best 5.8 in the world (yes, even beating La Vaca)
- *Action Candy* \- 10a \*\*
  - Random, weird connection Dave and I went out Friday night and got on this. I told him the story of Ken having to down-climb some parts to bring draws up because he didn't take enough to start with, and then I proceeded to send Dave up with too few draws. Whoops.
  - I climbed it with numb hands, which stopped me cold at the last ten feet of slab, until I figured out a way to warm my hands up under my harness.
- *Climb Like A Girl* \- 10a \*
  - Tricky, slabby crux early on - the key is to believe in the power of the coarsely sandpaper-like slab. Fun finish is what gives it the star. This was also Friday night.
- *More Funky Than Gunky* \- 5.9 \*\*
  - Ascent #20? With Dave and Logan Saturday morning.
- *Child's Play* \- 10c \*
  - How had I never noticed this climb before? Fun, and right next to MFTGunky. Footwork crux leads to easier pockets after halfway up.
- *Harvest Moon* \- 11a \*\*
  - Super fun start, early, serious 11a crux on bolt number two, then fun 10c/d pocket pulling. Good stuff!
  - My first 11 in Sinks? They were all in Wild Iris before.
- *Elmo's Fish* \- 10d \*\*
  - We have us a history, don't we girl.
- *Global Warm-Up* \- 10c \*
  - Funky start, inconsistent (varying) climb, still pretty fun though. Was glad to have a stick clip for that start. Another mid 10 I had never done before.
That's it for now! Until next time.
