Everybody Needs Friends

I was able to get up to Jackson Falls this past weekend with K-Bro and had a pretty good time. Saturday, I contemplated on hitting up Energizer but just couldn't get into it since there had been so much moisture the week before. It was a good thing. Instead we ran over to the Beaver Wall and I thought that I might give an old project Everybody Needs Friends 5.12a a little bit of work.

I hung the draws quickly and on the second go had already managed to pull a one hang on it. 7 goes later though I just couldn't pull out the send. Here is a little video of attempt number 5 that Matt Guemple, a climber who has been around the falls since I was born, took on his very nice HD camera! Thanks Matt!

Sunday, we warmed up quickly and then ran right over to Everybody Needs Friends again and I was able to finally pull out the send on the second go. It was a pretty awesome feeling! So nice to get back into the route game and be sending some 12's the second weekend back on!

Next weekend I'm hoping to make some progress on Detox Mountain .12a and hopefully take care of business on Cranial Implosion .12a!
