Lisa flashed her first lead at Red Wing - "Cinq Jour D'Affille". Her first climb of the day was her first complete outdoor lead, her first French-named route, and her first outdoor flash. And conditions weren't ideal - about 50 degrees, no sun, and snow on the ground.
After her lead, we climbed "Looking for Lust" which is the longest climb at Red Wing. That was wet at the top so not the best conditions. Aaron & I took turns leading that and Aaron flashed that route too.
Because we were cold, we fled the shade and went to the "Sleeping Bat" area in the sun. This is where Lisa took a leader fall, cut her finger (nothing serious) on a sharp rock and then wrote her initials on the climb in blood. Hope it's still there when you climb it.
A couple more climbs and time for B&B (burgers & beers) at the King's Inn.
