7/21/03 - FS Repeat. Took a while to figure out the thin moves below the overlap, because I really didn't want to fall.

Summer '02 - TR. 6/6/03 - FS Redpoint. Not as classic as J-Crack, and not nearly as good a solo. Too short, and a wierd last move.

Spring/Summer '02 - TR (several times). 6/6/03 - FS Redpoint. A great solo, because it's pretty long and airy. Loved it, and psyched to do it.

5/19/03 - Onsight. Fun arête climbing, reminiscent of Dog Biscuit at Kennel Wall. My onsight confidence is soaring!

5/15/03 - FS attempt. 5/19/03 - Redpoint attempt (fell at top), Redpoint. This climb is 2 bolts, would be a boulder problem but the landing is terrible. I first tried to do this climb without a rope. I wouldn't commit to the top and Victor caught me as I jumped from the lowest point I could downclimb to. Stupid to do without scoping the top first, especially since I fell there when I did it with a rope a few days later. It's much harder making the clips! The small holds are hard to hang on with one hand. Didn't hang the draws.

5/15/03 - Redpoint attempts (6 tries). 5/19/03 - Redpoint (3 tries). Took me a while to redpoint Pulse over two days. Did it with the draws hung, and it would be significantly harder for me to hang them myself. After a couple tries I had the bottom down pretty well, although the clips are still hard. The top is not too bad when you're fresh, but the crux for me was doing the top moves after some tough climbing on the bottom.

5/17/03 - Onsight. I took Dan and Lindsay up Repulsion, knowing that it would be a mellow day as far as climbing difficulty goes, but a challenge for the head. Some scary runouts on the two 5.8 pitches 1 and 3 made for a great lead! I found myself making 5.8 slab moves 15 feet above a TCU on the third pitch, which was by far the most challenging part of the climb. The toe crack on pitch 2 was good, although I didn't fully enjoy it - I think I was still fighting the mental game that pitch 1 played with me! The R rated climbing coupled with the stress of bringing two followers up on a climb with relatively small belay stances made for a tough, slow climb. We took 4 hours to do the four pitches! The fourth pitch was cool at the beginning when it joined the last part of the Standard Route chimney, but dirty gully climbing after that made for a forgettable pitch. There's a short but tough final 15' of climbing after the last belay if you belay where I did. I roped up to avoid pitching off the ledge in a fall, and belayed Dan and Lindsay to the top.

5/16/03 - FS Onsight. Very easy climbing, and fun. I had already done the top of the last pitch after doing Book of Solemnity the week before.
