It’s a shame to only get in one day of climbing over Labor day but I’m going to chalk this year up to it being too hot. I did make it out to Gold Bar with the usual suspects on Saturday. It was nice in the forest but once we hit noon the humidity could be felt in every go. I made progress on Sliver Slippers getting all the way through the campus moves and then falling off again. Tony had some good goes on Doja.( I feel incredible short and extremely weak when I touch this problem) Steph sent Fern Crack for the first time and Micah found out that climbing hard in the gym the night before going to Gold Bar can be somewhat taxing.

I also climbed my new favorite problem which came at the recommendation of Johnny G. It’s just to the right of Lighten Up. The 25 foot or so right side arête of a huge split makes a swanky warm up and as Johnny put it there right where you want them all the way up. It’s right in my range at v0 and should the height get to your fragile dome you can always just step back.
