dagibbsWe're done our 2nd day of climbing, and it was a pretty good day. It is quite warm down here, though, even with a constant wind blowing -- I don't think we're used to it. I'm pretty exhausted at the end of today, and Celine was tired enough to do one fewer climb -- though I think it was more her feet being tired. Me, it is an all-body exhaustion.
Crack Test Dummies (5.7, 5.8/5.9) - up the left spire. Celine lead the first pitch clean. I lead the 2nd pitch, no falls but with one rest on rope. Older guide book rates the 2nd pitch 5.8, newer book (by someone else) rates it 5.9.
Mr Hanky (5.8) - 1 pitch, nice route. I lead clean, Celine followed clean.
Asombrame (5.10a/b) - 1 pitch. I climbed it clean on top-rope. (Shares anchors with Mr Hanky.) It was really nice to pull this clean -- I was wondering if I still had EPC 5.10s in me, since I'd been having issues with leading 5.8s/9s. Clearly lead vs top-rope was making a difference.
