Fuck. Yes. Many thoughts: Feels perfect to be able to nab this in a narrow time window on an insane weather day, leaving 3+ inches of snow in Lexington to arrive at sunshine and upper 40s in Chattanooga. 4th day on it total over mannny years, 2nd day this season . . . 6 or 7 total goes today, warmed up and climbed as efficiently as possible. A mental barrier even if not physically the hardest, nor hard for the grade (quite soft perhaps), but such a stunning line to open the possibility for success on more hard climbs. And the quietest day at LRC, solo style. Amazing.

Didn't get to try this due to rain and raw fingers. Definitely wanna hop on and send this classic in the winter next year (hopefully).
