dagibbsTalked to my sweetie this evening, which was really nice.
Third day of climbing, 6 pitches today (instead of 5) and I wasn't completely wiped at the end... Estrellita looking good.
Also, I'm really enjoying the evening hanging out with the other climbers. I didn't do that so much last time, but really enjoying it this time. There's a group of 4 down from Vancouver that are nice, a couple from New York we'll be climbing with tomorrow, and a bunch of other cool people.
I've also met the writer of the main guide book (Dane Bass), as well as the author of the smaller guide books (Ed Wright, aka Magic Ed, aka Potrero Ed).
Libertad (2 pitches, 5.7, 5.7) - Celine lead both pitches. I don't think the first pitch was 5.7 -- it had, maybe, one 5.6 move, the rest 5.4 to 5.5. I'd rate it 5.6-, 5.7.
First three pitches of Yogi Unchained (5.8, 5.9, 5.9). Last pitch is 5.10b, and I didn't feel like leading it. Celine lead first pitch (one hang, IIRC). I lead the other two clean. Some chimney work in the 2nd pitch, gruntish but fun.
First pitch of Face the Music (5.9). Fun, seemed to be easy, 5.9.
6 pitches is pretty good. Seems like things are going well. We had thought about a rest day tomorrow, but I think we're going to climb instead. :) We talked to Mara & Karen from New York -- and we're going to be cragging in the Virgin Canyon with them.
