It was getting dark

So it was hard to see all the holds. Felt hard, I was tired.

The spring only

Felt really greasy today. It was very humid because we had a 10 minute rain shower. Didn't like the Spring today.

Easier than it looks

Protects well with small wires. You always have one good hand and foot. Smearing with the other foot. Lots of stemming and a reachy exit for this shorty.
