and after all the posturing and bloating, only one showed up to throw down the gauntlet. ray, you might have over estimated that there are three real trad climbers in the Red.

rjackson sent on his second go today..yes, leading it, and no, not hanging on gear, pulling on gear, etc.

I guess you get to list rjackson as the FA and then a line for FFA.

his first go, he fell and pulled three pieces, which was quite the treat to watch.

anyways...one of the best efforts I have witnessed in the past few years.

congratulations russ! proud send.

is this above, below, or on the bolt to keep the route from being R/X?

in other words, Take.

Thanks. Twas an unexpected treat today. I planned to climb hard and give it everything (and it took that and a little more). I was so wasted from the first effort that I didn't really think it would go down today (by me). Again, thanks for the catch and encouragement (and to Chris also). Now it's your turn! Send the project man!

You're thinking Wonderland (which hasn't posted yet). Today's send was Through The Looking Glass (which I'm happy to say will get to keep its name). No bolts.

No takes today...
