Summary

Shirley starting up Sinsemilla (5.10c) belayed by yours truly (May 2011).

A day at the Sunshine Wall in early May of 2011. We were sort of helping out with the Mazamas AR course but not too much I guess. Mostly we were climbing. I led Air Guitar (5.10a) and Chemically Altered Reality (5.10c…did not get the onsight). Shirley sent Sinsemilla (5.10c) and finished off the day on Tangled Up In Blue (5.9). A very nice, warm day.

Chemically Adjusted Reality

Starting up Chemically Adjusted Reality (5.10c) on the Sunshine Wall. The lower half had me a tad spooked with flakey crack for pro...did not send..was being a pussy (May 2011).

Upper and nicer half of Chemically Adjusted Reality (5.10c; May 2011).

Shirley on Tangled Up In Blue (5.9)...this is kind of a large person route: large hands and a big stem span drop the rating like a million number grades 🙂
