Besides for the problems The Rainbow and The Alcove Problem, I did not realize how softly I previously graded all the other problems in this area after a visit today. The problems have more reasonable grades now.

It's easy to get into "gym mode". You're a strong kid. Outdoor is just different. Send me a message, I want a Lynn Woods tour. Climb strong.
