Toadstool V4 (fucking dyno)
Queen's Bishop V4 (fucking dyno)
Spook Eyes V5 (fucking dyno)
Classic Monkey v6 (did most of it quickly, couldn't figure out one "big" move)
Caliman V7 (did most of it quickly, couldn't figure out one "big" move)
Monkey Bar Traverse V7 (loss psych because it is contrived)

Climbing is a small world. Here is Jason cranking at Kraft Boulders. I know him from Vertical Heaven.

Notes : I had a great day sending problems quickly. Somewhat unexpected since I had a case of poison oak from exploring on Friday! My big weakness today was dynos. There are quite a few straight up dynos at Kraft Boulders. I sucked on all of them.
