3 out of 5 stars Western Union

With Peter and Nayden. Incredible fall day, short sleeves all day! That last pitch, 5, was the most sustained and interesting, going up the rib to the left of the Pumpkin. Peter had to do a roof move on 3 that was interesting. Otherwise, just some fall exercise for the most part. Rock was good quality though, textured, no squirrel piss.
