"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Led all PitchesFlashed all 9 pitches. It was very fun! Almost slipped on Reppy's coming out of the divet, but after that, all went smoothly!

many timesDon't know when I get tired of this route. A slabby spot on pitch 6 and the 2nd roof still seem hard.

Great routeClimbed this route a few weeks ago. Great fun. Did the original first pitch as there was a group seriously flailing on Reppy's crack. That original pitch is definitely not a given at 5.8 and requires some serious laybacking. Especially as the climb was still a little wet when we did it. Next time I will get there earlier in order to do Reppy's as it looks absolutely stellar.

rope drag and food poisoningClimbed MG in a party of 3 on one of the best Sundays of the summer. The first four pitches went smoothly, but then things started going downhill. Had some issues with rope management, as well as a minor case of indigestion from the morning's deli sandwiches. I also nearly took a lead fall on the 2nd roof (the one on pitch 7), got freaked out and hung on gear for a bit before gathering the cojones to pull the move. All in all a tiring day, but great fun nonetheless.
