Tonight I did it!
I climbed a 5.12!!!!!
Rick was late getting to the gym, and Lisa took Mazey home early, so Dan didn't have anyone to climb with, so we decided to belay each other.
I started the evening off doing my crimpy blue 5.11. I did take one rest on the rope but thats okay. It was funny to warm up on 5.11. Then Dan did a great 5.11d (i think). I tried it and another 5.11 and it just wasn't happening.
Then I encouraged Dan to try the 5.12 I had started working. He hates crimpy routes, but decided to try it anyway. He on-sited it! WAY TO GO!!! It was so awesome. His very first 5.12!!!
Then I decided to give it a go. I took a few falls and had to rest a bunch, but I was able to peice it all together and finish the route. HOLY SNOT! I did a 5.12!!!!
Now my goal...do the whole route without weighting the rope or taking any falls. I can't wait! :)

Very cool! It's awesome that you guys are so into it and that you love it! Cute pics of you guys with your kids by the way!
Sorry I missed it - I was helping Dawn coach Dallin up a route on toprope, then I worked with him some on how to climb more dynamically and then gave him some cool exercises to do. But I am proud of you.
I'm thrilled that you were helping Dallin. You are better at coaching him then me.
I know from experience that something about that biological connection makes it really hard to do. Also as an older person I'm a bit more patient ;)
