Significant personal event for us this week, happy dual citizens.

Got out a couple of times this week.

One really hot day 6a+ through 7a/b including my project here but greased off it mostly.

Today it was a bit cooler, onsighted a bunch of steep stuff up to 6c to avoid flash pump on the proj and then jumped onto it on top rop to see if I could link through from just after the first third's crux right through the other 3 crux sections (no joke, I can get pitched off every one of them) - strolled it relatively speaking so all the moves are finally in the bag. Pretty bold this one so I'll give it a bit more work to drill it then get on lead...been looking at this line many a time over years in CH, feels good to finally be at a strength level to be able to give it a good crack and it really is the anti-Rod in style.

Hooked up with Regis - Simplon or Verdon during the coming 3 weeks, weather dependent.
