Friday after work I went climbing with a couple in my ward. It was a lot of fun. When I only climb about once a year, you could imagine what I climb like. But I did lead one (Fly by night 5.8) and top-rope another (Mr Rogers Neighborhood 5.9) at Paramount. It was wierd that when I was leading Fly by night, I got realy scared at the top. This is a climb that I have done many times, both on top rope and on lead. What was my deal. So when we were setting up on Mr Rogers Neighborhood, I didn't feel that I had it in me to take the sharp end. Especially when I saw the 12'-15' run-out. Spencer was great on lead. He flew up the first 2/3 of it, then looked down and said, "Wow! This is really high!" I think it suprised him how fast he got up there. It was a great climb! When I was on it, I could see a couple of thin spots that I would have really puckered if on lead. I'm glad Spencer took it on. It was a blast to get out and get a few climbs in. I need to get out more...wait...snow is about to fly! Spring I guess.
Photos to come as soon as I can get them from Spencer.
