Beer Walls

I've been out climbing a couple days this week in between rain and sunshine. Monday I made it out to the Beer Walls with Rich for a couple of pitches. Rich led Blacksmith (5.10a), which is an awesome classic face climb. Then I tried Pat's Blue Ribbon (5.12b) in the Clutch and Cruise cave. I've worked it a couple of times and I did all the moves on it for the second time. The third clip is hard, but I now have the beta for it, and totally crushed it on Monday. I think next time I do it, having all the beta, I'll be able to at least make it through the fourth clip without falling.

I was excited to get on Pat's because I wanted to compare it to the project at Beaver Brook. I think the project is a little bit harder and more sustained.
