Notes: We went to Wild Iris on the second day. "Hot Tamale Baby" onsight attempt ended when I went to nonticked pocket first, silly mistake. I bailed on the 2nd bolt of "Charro". I love monos, but I don't want to jump off monos. I got a rare opportunity for a flash attempt on Ruby Shooter after watching several people on it. I fell at the second, slightly, easier crux when I didn't use a ticked jug. I'm starting to see a pattern. That crux revolves around a twisting drop knee. I need to get better at those.
