Some Moderate Success

Met Tom at the gym early this morning. I warmed up on a 5.8, then a 5.10, then onsighted a 10+. I next went to the yellow 11+ that I have been on about ten times. I got to the within two holds of the top before pitching off. I was just too pumped.

Next I sent the red 5.11 that had been throwing me on the last giant move to the top.

Then I tried the white 5.11+ on the Mary Jane wall. This one is cool. I fell at the 2nd to last clip. It was just too pumpy. After resting a bit, I tried again. This time I skipped that clip until it was down at my thigh. I was risking a long fall, but it would just be into space and Tom is a solid belayer. I made the clip and sent the route, barely.

I finished by trying a 5.11 on the big tsunami roof. These things are my bane. I suck at them because hanging upside down by one hand to clip, just kills me. I hung after four clips and then made the top.
