Day Four

The Edge.

Feeling somewhat weak, no new climbs, so I join Chris in making up a few. By that I mean that he made up two problems, I made up one, although it never found a finish.

First problem: Low start, big move up and match on a decent hold. Move up to a good hold, match, bring the left foot high, and grab out right for an awkward hold. Commit, cross into much better hold. That's the crux. Move feet up, grab a big pinch, and heel hook high up. A few quick moves and it's done. V5 or so.

Second problem: Similar start, higher left hand. Move left up to not-so-great crimpy pinch, and right hand out right. Very cool foot swap to lift heel hook higher, and then huuuuuge cross with left hand.

Let go with the feet.

Swing.

Stop swinging, or at least try to.

Stabilized, miraculously, move up through an increasingly burly sequence of moves eventually up and left onto a hold that looks great... but isn't. An awkward heel hook should lead up to the finish, but neither of us sent it.

Probably V7, and very, very cool.
