Aaron (Flash) and I went to Red Wing today as well as everyone else and their brothers and sisters. Imagine the entire VE gym full of people climbing right next to each other. That was Red Wing on Saturday. (Man, am I spoiled by climbing on weekdays!)
Aaron2.0 led his first 5 outdoor climbs today. We started on the snow and climbed "Goofed on Skunkweed" and "Vertical Vice." He onsighted both of those. Then he flashed (the man's a maniac) "Danger High Boltage" and "Too Low for Zero."
We wanted some sun so moved over to "Sleeping Bat in a Ziplock Bag." He onsighted that too. (It would've been a flash, except he belayed someone else who climbed it first.) That is an impressive lead. I managed to squeak out a lead on "Urban Chunks" which he topped. Video and photos to follow.
PS It's amazing how hot 65 degrees feels.
