10/23-24/05- matt and i had a great weekend in the valley. we got in fairly late in the morning saturday and spent the day in camp4. matt worked on cocaine corner and one move wonder and nearly sent both of them. he will undoubtedly send them on a future trip. i got titanic and battle of the bulge, the latter being great fun. later in the afternoon we met up with paul and lin, who showed us honor among theives: a very nice (and hard) line somewhat near king cobra. i wasn't able to get it but i'm happy to have a new project.

sunday we joined paul and lin at the cathedrals. the temperature was very mild and on the cooler side, which made for some good sending conditions. both matt and i climbed the hexentrix (V6) for the first time. what a great problem and matt's hardest to date. nice work matt! i tried blunt arete (supposed V4) and got shut down: another project, but more annoying than inspiring. i pretended to work on "X" for a while with paul. thats one nutty problem. next we went up to the king boulder and i managed to get the king on my second try. paul and i both did behave (V9), which is a direct jumpstart variation to the king; good fun. we ended off the day with the fun and high crippler.

what a great weekend!
