Big Falls at VE on Saturday

Somebody did not look at the schedule! Typically there is someone from my family at VE at all times. I take the early shift, Em closes the joint and the boys fill in inbetween. But Today we were all there, plus Michael and Hannah. We also saw the elusive Pamela and her new fiance'.

Jake was leading the yellow 11 right of the roof, he fell early and almost hit the floor, he threw his arm back to brace for the impact that didn't happen, his shoulder pooped out, OW! He got it back in, no worries. This has been and issue, more physical therapy is in order.
Then Levi attempted that same route. A hold near the last clip spun and his took a very long fall, about half way down the wall. The guy next to me said "good catch". Hey, if your mama won't catch you, who will?

I'm sure some or most of us will climb tomorrow, as will Mel and the "B" team. How about you?

Here is a photo of my lads were they were not so tough as they are now but they thought they were.
