Back at the Cathedral Cafe... got a little bit of a later start, and we have 3 extra people with us today, so we had to wait a little while longer for our table. They actually wound up giving us a large round table that had been reserved for another party, but I guess they didn't make it here in time. I have french toast coming... mmmm... Climbing yesterday went OK; I was right about not really having any endurance. I only did 5 routes, but a few were things I hadn't done before, and they were fun. At the end of the day I went to go do an easy 11a that I've never quite sent. I think I had psyched myself into thinking it was going to be super-easy, so I had a horrible time on it first go. I was cursing and yelling and completely annoyed with myself, which never happens to me on routes; I usually just don't care that much. I finally fought to the top, came down, and April went. She had a bad time as well, and forgot her sequence for one part, so she actually wound up bailing, which meant that I needed to go up and get my draws off. In a Hollywood story, I would have gone up and pissed all over it. It didn't quite happen that way, but it was close. I was one move from sending, and forgot about one key hold that I hadn't seen last time, either. It wasn't the best ending to the day, but it made me feel a lot better.

Today we're going to a different area, and there is a 12a and an 11d right next to each other with my name on them.
