Astroman Improved

Actually Astroman is perfect the way it is — it doesn’t need improvement. But we do, and we did improve. Erik and I got back on the climb again this Saturday. We both did better than last time. I only fell at the Boulder Problem. I’m not a boulderer! That’s my excuse, and most people do the 5.10a variation to avoid it. But Erik kept going up the hard way, so I had to follow. Oh, while cleaning a nut above the Changing Corners at a 5.9 section, my foot suddenly popped (I was so bumbed that I even cursed once, which surprised Erik. heh heh). But I redpointed the Enduro Corner! Ahh, that was the high point of the day for me. We finished the climb in 7 hours and 50 minutes (versus 10 hours and 10 minutes last time). Big improvement all in all.

On Sunday, we went cragging at Cookie Cliff with Allen, Jesse, and Chris. Between a late start and an early departure, Erik led me up Outer Limits, Hardd, and Crack-a-go-go (one fall). All are hard in their own ways.

Photos: I didn’t take many photos, but however few they are, I’ve posted them to my album. On the contrary, Erik took a lot of photos this time, including me leading Enduro Corner, following Harding Slots, and so on. Check them out here.
