Heading into Spring Break (my last as an undergrad : ), I was invited on a trip to the New River Gorge for the weekend. I am so glad I took the offer! Despite not having climbed at all for over a month, I climbed fairly well "off the couch":
bunch of moderates
almost flashed a .12a
.10b trad flash
.11b second go (bouldery)
.11d arete onsight (one of the best I've ever done)
got to the top of the Colosseum hang-dogging up Apollo Reed 5.13a ... see below for footage of my flash attempt

Hope to finish that route before I move from the east coast.
many blessings...

Is it doable?
kind of reminds me of Ozone in Wa. Nice job on the first crux!
Dom: Most definitely! It's not technical climbing at all (besides a couple rest positions/ways to make sequences easier)... purely just jug stamina out a steep cliff!
Micah: Thanks, lol
Watch the video in reverse you guys and totally claim the onsight! lol
