| Leading my first aid route | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Climbing with HJMC and Dragger, they coached me up my frist aid lead. C1 on Church Bowl Tree, then we free climbed it on top rope (10a).
Notice Carolyn (who is belaying me) is having an intimate encounter with a cracker just as the picture was taken.

Voted 10/10 | her hands were on the rope! Looking down and seeing you aren't really on belay is enough to give one bad dreams.. | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 3:24 pm |
| pvalchev | Congrats! | |

Voted 10/10 | the look of a "mad scientist" at work...are you positive your belayer is not taking a nap? | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 4:32 pm |

Hasn't voted | Looks like the belayer is looking for the dropped cookie or cracker under his arm! | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 4:49 pm |
| rhyang | Nice work Jennie ! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Rob. I like aid - it was great to free climb this route (on toprope) after leading it on aid. Then Sunday, it snowed and all we did was eat at Curry and go home. | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 6:30 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I'm missing the DOA already :( Sounds like a great time though ! You're leading next time I'm there :) | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 8:35 pm |
| Deb | Belay? | | 
Hasn't voted | Who needs a belay for aid anyway? That's what good placement is for. :/ | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 5:10 pm |
| uwjennie | Thanks for the comments | |
Hasn't voted | I should note, if you look carefully one of Carolyn's hands is on the rope. The other one is searching for the cracker that just fell. It's sort of funny...
HJMC set up a fixed line and jugged up to get these shots. Thanks for a great weekend guys. | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 6:03 pm |
| Dragger | LOL! | | 
Voted 10/10 | Intimate encounter with a cracker? Not unless a boob is called cracker these days! HA! And yes, Jennie is definitely a mad scientist -- you can tell from the expression on her face. ;^) | | Posted Apr 23, 2007 7:15 pm |
| Diggler | How... | | 
Voted 10/10 | was this pic taken? Was Craig hanging from a rope on the anchors? Fun lead, huh (also my first aid lead placing pro)? Nice pic. | | Posted Jun 19, 2007 3:57 pm |
| | uwjennie | Re: How... | |
Hasn't voted | Craig was on a fixed line, Carolyn had just lead and set up a rope for Craig to jumar up and coach me. Super reassuring, plus great pics.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I was offline for quite a while!
