Flash ascent by:
flashed after a scary fall earlier in the week
Took a 20+ foot fall on lead on Tuesday on this route (my mistake due to passing the last draw). And then flashed it on Friday!

First lead climb at greenbelt
to start the day, easier climb, wasn't expecting the limestone to be as polished as it was.

Hang Dog ascent by:
I thought this was Tiddlywinks.
Never noticed this route before today; it looked easy so I decided to try to onsight it. Boy, was I in for a surprise after I got past the 3rd bolt. I tried 3 times to pull the next ledge, and ended up down-climbing each time. Then I tried something different and ended up taking a wild fall, resulting in flipping upside down (by far the scariest fall I've ever taken, but I didn't fall out of the harness and I'm unhurt).
I tried a few more times and got really really freaked out so I lowered off. My friend finished the lead and then I cleaned it, and even on TR I felt kinda spooked. He clipped the 3rd bolt before pulling the ledge, by using a left side-pull and fairly high feet, which is what I did when cleaning. But I had to hang on the rope shortly thereafter. That was the only part I messed up on 2nd. The crux is both clipping the 3rd bolt and then getting over it to some good hand-holds, and then the top-out is great.
I would still call it a 5.9+R, not really a 5.10
