Got my first V4 onsight at LRC yesterday. Bunch of V3's. Certainly a far cry from V9 but it was a good day/personal best for me. Great conditions, a lot of fun.

I think that was the one you were working on when I was up there. Looked super burly, nice work.

We got shut down hard today at T-wall South routefinding aka bushwhacking today. AFter about 3 hours of walking through snow and thorns, we found zero of the routes we were looking for.

Good job Ben, I told you that you would crush.

Did you not find the wall at T-Wall, or just not the routes you were looking for?

Good story. I believe I was providing the belay. I think people could hear her in Frenchburg!!

Ha! You guys are awesome.

I think you're thinking of the first day I got on it, which was also the first day Kris and I climbed together, sometime in the fall of 2003 or spring of 2004. Ynot took a picture of Kris coaching me through some offwidth technique at the base of that offwidth to the right of Scabies, which I think is somewhere in the RRC archives. I remember taking tons of very loud falls on the crux of Brontosaurus, and having to tape up my right shoulder the rest of the week at school because of all the scratches from cramming it into the other wall.

I really like the route, but it was actually pretty anticlimactic when I sent it, a couple years later.

I think the people from Frenchburg still talk about the Day of the Screaming Woman.

Definitely found the wall. We had only done North last time, and tried to do South this time. The routes we were looking for were at the far end of the South section. The trail becomes less and less developed the further down you go.

"Tons of loud falls" hehehe you're too modest. I recall hearing a fall followed by an expletive,then a fall and an expletive,another fall and an expletive in random succesion with some calm coaching from Kris. Us humans give up after the first whipper. It was a beautifull day in the fall. I have a picture of me sending Zabiezy hanging next to my computer, that Kris took from the anchors of the OW. Jeff suprised me with an 8 by 10 of it one day in the parking lot of Miguel's. good times fer sure.
