Wow. Tough day at the gunks. Led Ken's Crack, a very uncomfortable route for me, as I'm not used to crack climbing. Had to rest once at the crux. After that three tough 5.10s on top rope. Wanted Tood to let me down (not really) but managed to pull through and it felt great! Also led Incredibility Gap, which was not incredible, but the perfect lead for me where its "easy" but really fun. I feel like I got better at finding placements (for protection) today.

Made Rob famous for taking a huge leader fall (he was climbing out of my view and when I felt the tug, at first I thought he needed slack and gave it to him). The other climbers all thought he was very brave (perhaps for climbing with me).

I didn't run today (not even for 5 minutes). I ate ramen instead. And checked this out on the walk home: http://news.artnet.com/art-world/jeff-koonss-emspl...

Enjoyed his exhibit at the Whitney over the weekend. Very fun.

With a new friend from Sheffield, who is familiar with the castle gym! He's only got 5 days left in NY.
