climbing with Cherri---
warm up/10a for the lead belay cert for Cherri. She did great, but short-roped me terribly on every clip (rope came out 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch....) so she will have to try to pass the test another day. Oh well. So on to the TR wall. Onsighted both a 10c and 10d, 10d was on an overhang and had a lot of pinches, if I had to lead it I probably would've fallen from exhaustion a few moves from the top. Since I was on TR I somehow managed both.
Then bouldered. Helped Cherri with some v0s, worked on some v4s, and hit a couple v2s just cuz. Tried some unrated easy stuff in the cave. I can't rely on technique in there, it's pathetic how little I climb on a simple jug haul in the cave. Cherri keeps telling me, 1 month, I'll have it all back in one month... but I think it'll take at least 6mo.
