Hi KB,

I went to Spot today and none of my buddies met me. I tried the comp problems.
I warmed up on some Recreational problems (1,3,5).
Then I did R8, R9, and R10. I moved on to the
Intermediate problems and did all of them first
try except I7 (3 tries), I9 (4 tries), and I couldn't
do jack on I10. Next I tried the Advanced problems.
I onsighted A1 and A2. Failed on A3, but did a few
moves, unlike I10. Failed on A5, but did a few moves.
Couldn't find A4 or A6. That was it. I was only there
an hour. No buddies showed up.

Very similar to your effort, except that you were close
on A3. That was a hard one. I had my left hand on the
good ear above the roof and my right hand on a sloper
up high. Now I leaned way back and got my right foot on
the good hold underneath the roof, but I'm stuck. I assume
I have to go up with the right again, but I don't know.
The holds then go way right and no feet. Looked hard
above.

Yes, I7 was pretty hard, but it had only two hard moves,
but at the beginning, then it was no problem. I9 is burly
and had one very hard move when you have to reach way left
with your left hand around the opening roof. I fell off
that move twice and bungled the start once.
