Wagon Wheel
Down in the wash today, got spanked by almost everything but the warmup. There’s an overhang there everyone can do static and I just cannot stick to it. Finally I finished one on the shady side of that rock after popping off the crux fairly high once. Scared Greg cause I turned around in mid…

Ted forgot his shoes and went home. Worked some stuff in the front with Roy and Charlie. Walter’s crack spanked me again and again, but I got up a bunch of other stuff in the area that made me feel better.

Piano Recital
Played with Ellen first, Bach’s Little Fugue in G minor. Alas, I got nervous and left a large garbled gap in the middle, but recovered for a strong ending.

The bunch was off somewhere else today, so I went exploring. Found a couple of chossy problems, then one super balancy knob-sidepull to slopers problem that I almost gave up on then got. The rest of the stuff there was super highball, so I went back in front and did the crack on the other…

Wagon Wheel
Got some new stuff on the hill behind Quadafi’s wall. One fairly hard crack on the first try. Everyone enamoured with Alexis, a geology student from Golden, CO.
