Tom & I got out for the first time this year for climbing. We both intend to be Trad Lead Climbing this year, so we need lots of time on the rock. We set up "Piece of Cake" for top rope and we each climbed it a couple of times, then we racked up for mach lead practice. It went really good for both of us, we paid close attention to our placements and stances. Last year I was getting pumped out half way through mach leading, this year no pump, first time out this year.
After about 5 climbs each we went to Tourist Rocks area and practiced setting up anchors, opposed nuts, one hand clove hitches and other general fun trad climbing practice that has to be second nature to us. For the first time out, I'm already better than last year. Practice makes perfect.
