Smith- Day 2

8 a.m. start.
More fake coffee, instant oatmeal, and PB&J.

I led Bunny Face for the 4th time. I did it mostly w/o whining. This is a big deal for me.

Josh put up a nice 5.9 corner with a crazy traverse and a downclimb that Steve had to clean. Lot's of whining ensued.

Steve put up Helium Woman and Captain Zenelith. More whimpering. I actually covered my eyes for a moment. He powered through.

Shelly did not let him rest on his laurels, though, and psychobabbled him into leading Moonshine Dihedral. The best climb ever! Pure stemming for almost 100 feet.
Nice! Climbing season is officially salvaged.

Had to leave early cos Shelly was in the unusual position of having to go to work on Monday. Her and Josh packed up and took off. Steve and I bought matching pants (we are so into matching these days) at the Boulder Comp festival and headed to Bend to watch some football. Saw the Seahawks pull out a nail biter and tried to calculate our FF scores.

Steve had had the foresight to find a rec center with a pool in Bend since we got shut out in Squamish last weekend. We drove around frantically to locate it and got there just in time to get a swim in. With the exception of the Monkey Bars, Bend has an even nice set up than Squamish. A heated pool outside. We got some laps in and some hot tub time. Then found another bar and watched the late game. Terrell did not let me down. After much hemming and hawing, Steve and I halved a steak. Steak is good. Garlic steak is better.

Long drive home.
