denalidevo Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Trip: Index Town Wall - Roger's Corner/Breakfast of Champions Date: 3/5/2010 Trip Report: In an effort to avoid the hordes of pent-up climbers expected to descend on the Lower Town Wall this Saturday, Gene and I drove to Index and climbed Roger's Corner (5.9) and the ultra-classic crackfest Breakfast of Champions (5.10a) Friday morning. The weather was splitter and so was the rock. I've been training hard this winter - trimming down, lifting weights, running - and it's paid off. I cruised Breakfast of Champions: my first clean 5.10 lead at Index. Been wanting that for some time now - felt good to get it done. We'd hoped to run some long top rope laps on the two climbs but time ran short and we acquiesced, albeit reluctantly, to other commitments - me to work and Gene to shoveling wood chips in his back yard.
