Potter with Margaret

Yesterday the weather was really nice. Actually, it was really hot and sunny. I think it got up to like 87 degrees at one point. Margaret is up visiting, so we got up early, ate some breakfast and sprinted out to Potter Mountain. We probably should have walked slowly, because we were really really hot when we got up there.

We got on the first and second pitches of the Brazilian (5.10a) and actually I linked them up into one big pitch, which was pretty cool. I didn't have any big gear, so it was an especially exciting pitch.

Then we did Once in a Lifetime (5.10d), which is hard. I fell twice on it and struggled for a while. What a cool climb though! Craziest holds ever. It's such improbable climbing.

After that we went swimming. It was so hot that the rock was almost to hot to touch. But the swimming hole was awesome, per usual.

And now it's raining hard.
