Bryan and I started our day out at the River Boulders. We went straight to Chutzpah (V11), which I had tried a bit last summer but was never able to stick the crux first move. I stuck the move twice today, the second time finishing the problem. Next, we headed to Flower (V8). Bryan flashed the problem and then I sent a few tries later. Then it was off to Hagakure (V12), one of Washington's finest. Bryan came very close from the start, making the very difficult and key foot move just before the throw to the lip. Finally, we tried a new problem of Johnny G's up a blunt arete (V-very hard) with awful holds and even worse feet. After about an hour, Bryan and I gave up trying to stick the first move.
Video still from Flower. Video to come of Bryan sending.
