Bit of a backlog.

Nov 6-7

Was invited to climb in the horse flats. Did a very soft V1 2 and 3. The following day my finger skin hurt so I did some light sport with Morgan, nearly peeling off a 5.6, not getting a 5.7 then trying an 11a with just one crux right at the top which I couldn't get.

8 ----------------- 4S-8-6 (-27.5) 
9 ----------------- 3S-9-6-5 (-30)


Nov 13-14

4 ~V1's(one of which was rather intense) in J-tree. Nothing really on the 14th, tried an old 1 and 2 project. Then tried gunsmoke. It was basicallya repeat of last time. Fell off at the long reach but hopped back on because it wasn't a "pumped out" fall. Fell instead at the corner. 2nd attempt I passed through thte corner then came back. Both the 1st and 2nd attempts were about 3 minutes on the wall. The remaining not so good. All in all I just got a V0 that requires you to leap (didn't log it because the boulder isn't online and it's not really worth it)



17 Nov -- Hangboard Repeaters #10

1 ----------------- 6S
2 ----------------- 6S (-17.5)
3 ----------------- 6S (-22.5)
4 ----------------- 5S-6 (-47.5)

8 ----------------- 4S-5-5 (-27.5) 
9 ----------------- 4S-5-4 (-30)

20 Nov
Nothing of note, tried a V5 that feels possible, Ryans campground probably Ryan's boulder. Also did a few attempts on a V7 with a big group I encountered (Chilli sauce?)

21Nov

Two V1's. Hardish. Joker and 7 grain arete. I treid 7 grain months ago once in the summer heat. Went much better this time. Joker is kind of tall and committing. Both went on the 3rd go. Ended the day as usual on some Gunsmoke attempts. Since it's getting closer, after the first attempt, I gave it a long 10 minute rest then tried again. Both times falling at the crux. The next three attempts were working from just after the crux to the corner which I only got on the 3rd go  (afterabout a 4 minute rest)


24 Nov -- Hangboard Repeaters #11

1 ----------------- 6S
2 ----------------- 5S-5 (-15) (weird unexpected slip)
3 ----------------- 6S (-22.5)
4 ----------------- 4S-9-5 (-47.5)
5 ----------------- 5S-6 (-37.5) 
6 ----------------- 5S-9 (-20)
7 ----------------- 3S-9-5-4 (-45)  
8 ----------------- 4S-7-6 (-27.5) 
9 ----------------- 4S-7-6 (-30)


25 Nov - sport climbing

Thanksgiving climbing with Morgan. Did a painful 5.7, onsighted what's apparently a one move 10+ (otherwise 5.8), and TR'd but not clean an 11a



28 Nov - bouldering

Did a V2 that had shut me down for a while out by the orbiter (V3) which I used to do power endurance laps on. Tried the orbiter twice and got quite close. I may try it some more to finally get that tick. As usual tried gunsmoke with less success.
