Monday at VE - Lots of Falls on the Walls

Lisa led over one of the overhangs on the natural wall so she can get used to leading the roofs at Red Wing - like "Sleeping Bat." She got past the roof in good style, reached up and over the top - on that climb, the top is very wide and very sloped -  and fell all the way down below the overhang.  As far as a leader can fall at the gym. Ouch! And then she went back up on top rope and finished it. Hoo rah.

Aaron and I led on the arch so we can get strong enough to complete a lead at Willow River.

Since I don't have any photos of our climbing from Monday, I thought the 2nd 3rd 4th 5th best thing - one of the top ten best things  - would be to show a photo of me typing this post. So here it is:

Wow, that is some haircut! How will we recognize him at Barnes Bluff?
