This is Erik’s trip report on the forum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Went to the Pins today.\u00c2\u00a0 Fantastic weather, warm in the sun with a cool but not cold breeze.\u00c2\u00a0 The breeze was not strong enough or cold enough for it to be chilly while in the shade.\u00c2\u00a0 Still a few wild flowers out.<\/p>\n

Wet Kiss, Big Pucker TR combo for the warm up.<\/p>\n

Cantaloupe Death in order to get on top and setup a TR on Rocket and Future Shock.
\nI got Rocket on the second try and did better on Future shock than I did last weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 I have figure out the moves but cannot link through the crux yet.\u00c2\u00a0 Mudworm did quite well.\u00c2\u00a0 Had a few hangs on Future Shock but looked strong.<\/p>\n

Pulled the ropes and went over and lead the Direct in order to get the rope setup on Cataract.
\nI took two spins on Cataract and managed to get into the crux the second time before coming off.\u00c2\u00a0 A big improvement over last weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 Mudworm is doing very well up to the crux.<\/p>\n

Fingers were shot so we headed out.<\/p>\n

There were a fair number of people hiking around.\u00c2\u00a0 A large pack of Boy Scouts and many large family groups.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, it would have been difficult for the weather to have been better.\u00c2\u00a0 A beautiful day.<\/p>\n

Here’s to sweat in your eye<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Erik first tried to belay me at the top of Cantaloupe Death, I could not commit to the first move and had to make him to come down. But he refused to grab me from behind because he knew I could make the move (I had done it before). I finally did it — somehow knowing that he was right behind me helped. The move for me basically was lean into the wall and grab a good hold in the right hand before letting my both feet go and my body pendulum a couple of times. Once my body stopped swinging back and forth, I could look for the foot hold to start climbing. I hated that move, so I did it twice.<\/p>\n

I felt good on Future Shock and look forward to getting back on it to link all the moves together.<\/p>\n

Cataract Corner felt harder than Future Shock. I stubbornly stuck to the left side at the crux and one move (or lack of) stopped me cold. Okay, next time, I might break down and try the right side (on the arete).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
