2010 06 11. Watched my friend Shadow - an uber-strong climber, finish his project Aurora (5.13a). About an hour later Vic showed up, interested in checking it out as well, and Shadow was able to climb it clean a second time! He made it look smooth.
My achievements were much, much less remarkable. I hung on an 11b and a 10b, but alzheimer on-sighted* a 5.7 and two 5.8s! Still, by the end of the day my forearms were twitching from the strain - making this a great day.

*alzheimer on-sight: also called a "senility on-sight", refers to making an ascent of a route previously climbed but without recollection. In this case, I climbed the 5.7 and one of the 5.8's back in 1996 - according to my notes.
