I met Warren at the Spot today and we had a good time. I was 30
minutes late because I spaced out at work, but we had time to
get tired. My temporary (one visit) lead over Warren has disappeared.
He easily did I9, I7 (onsight), A2 (onsight), and onsighted another 4-spot problem.

I had another good workout. I did I9 again. A5 again, second
try today after ten tries or so on Monday. I did the orange Open
#1 problem (rated 5-spots) onsight!. Clearly this is massively
mis-rated, but fun anyway. It will be harder if you are shorter
than 5'10" probably. This is the orange problem on the scoop area of
the Hueco boulder.

I then did another 5-spot problem on the north side of the Font
boulder (marked with green). This is not 5 either, of course, because, by definition, a
5-spot problem is one I can't do. This problem has 2 or 3 hard
moves. In this same area is a black 4+ spot problem and I have not
finished this one. It's hard. Also on this side is a red 4-spot problem
that has a total of 4 holds on it, one of which is the starting foothold.
This problem is trivial, but fun.

Fun times at the Spot!
