Oh the rainy weekends

[kevinoregon]

No climbing for me this last weekend. rain saturday, no one to climb with for the few hours of sunshine on sunday. so now I am left thinking about the weekend before's climbing. Nothing great, just a 10 pitch day at broughton. Edges and Ledges as a warmup. all 3 pitches of gandalf's grip. Don't really like counting that last pitch, but it does need to be all set up so it gets counted. Thats 4. Thai Stick and the first pitch of redeye as 1 pitch for #5. classic for 6. sheer energy and the second pitch of sheer stress for 7 & 8. I had never done the second pitch of sheer stress, so that was cool. no friction and shoot from the hip finished the day. it was time to go, so no time for hard body. I had been looking forward to it all day too.

That sounds like a totally fun day....ever tried doing gandalf's in one pitch? It works......and makes a fun change of pace.
