Summary
Two weekends of Smith climbing in October of 2010. First weekend, we hiked out to the Marsupials for some sport climbing fun. Started off by doing Death Of A Raven (5.8). The rock looks like shit but has been cleaned off enough so that nothing broke. We also did the short but steep (& fun) Under The Gun (5.10a) and Short Sharp Shock (5.10b) – both on the “backside” of Brogan Spire and both uncharacteristically steep and juggy for Smith. Finished off the day by doing the first pitch of something called Barred Reality (5.10a) – a boulder move start followed by a bolted 4th class terrain. Pointless it seemed. Pitch two looked like more of the same and so we bailed.
Second weekend (also one day) was even more lazy & we only climbed Honey Pot (5.9) and Finger Puppet (5.10a).

Shirley starting up Death Of A Raven (5.8) - a nice route (looks like shit rock from below!) on the backside of Brogan Spire (Oct. 2010).

Leading the silly pitch 1 of Barred Reality (5.10a) - a boulder move followed by low 5th class terrain (Oct. 2010).

Shirley leading the steep and juggy (but very short) Under The Gun (5.10a) on Brogan Spire's ass end (Oct. 2010).

Leading the steep but juggy Short Sharp Shock (5.10b) on the backside of Brogan Spire. Pretty uncharacteristic climbing for Smith IMHO (Oct. 2010).
