None of my usual partners showed up at the BRC. That usually isn't a crisis since I can use the self-belay and maybe boulder a bit. The gym was nearly deserted as well. But I hooked up with a couple of local homies: Roger Briggs and John Krakauer. These guys are great, Roger especially. I warmed up on a 5.9 and a 5.10 and then went to my project, the red 5.12 on the Mary Jane Wall. Roger had cruised this route on Friday. I fell at the last move three times in a row! Dang. Roger was nice enough to fall off this route at the crux as well. John sent the tricky pink 5.11+ on his second go. Everyone had to leave then and I took off as well to pick up my mountain bike, but I think I finagled a possible D1 attempt with Roger himself! Sweet! That'd be like climbing the Nose with Hans or the West Face of El Cap with Hudon, or the Third Flatiron with Homie, or Seal Rock with the White Rim, or the Mace with Opie...

You get the idea. Despite failing on my project for the 10th time (?) it was a good, brief session.
