Robinson Cruseo 5.7 ** Pitch 1 Trad Rock Climbing

Back at Lovers Leap, aka The Narrows, for a great weekend of climbing.

I think the start of this is supposed to be further left ... this was suppose to be a "warm up" but turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be on the lower section.

I placed more nuts on this climb than any other so far and found myself wanting more to place. The placement on the small finger crack would have been perfect with the one size smaller but I left that down in another crack which is why it took me a while there.

I am beginning to learn why it is I am a slow climber ... I take too long to find a place to put gear rather than pushing up a little further where I know gear would be good.

This was a very mental climb for me even though it has a low rating as you do not want to fall early on this.
