real rock
finally the weather cooperated and we got out on some real rock. My first outdoor lead in 6 years - Taylor Made (15, 5.6) - and I got to admit I was pretty nervous about it. During the climb I could feel my heart beating really hard and fast but I was focused and did the climb "on-sight." Amy, Tim and I spent the better part of the morning top roping it (they both did it three times and both managed a clean ascent - that's Amy topping out on it.)
After the nerves of the first lead I opted to top rope the neighboring climb - Look Blue Go Purple (18, 5.9) - I'll be able to lead that next time... did it three times on top rope.
Easter weekend we are heading down to Nowra where there's a high concentration of low grade routes.
