I'm glad you took the ones you did. Yes, I thought the 5.8 move at the top of the 1st pitch (just below the belay) was hard and it was runout. The 5.9 at the bottom seemed easier. I'm still glad it had the bolt, though. Daryl said he had problems with the 1st move on the 2nd pitch. He said he came down once or twice before he did it. I got the 1st move just fine it was the next, "transition" move I had trouble with. Yes, my bad, about the rope around my leg, but I was jammed in the crack pretty good. I just need to figure out a better technique for that one. :-) Excellent job on that 3rd pitch! You do great on those long sustained cracks. (Like the one on Fairview). I was happy you led it. My favorite picture is the one of you and Rachel jumping. That one turned out well. -wdr Clare,
