We started off the day at Dead Cats Wall - OGB group left Starbucks at 8:30 and we were the first car at Reimers. The rock was so cold that anybody climbing slow had to take and hang. I did Mario's 5.12 twice with little difficulty, but then I slapped miserably on Ralph's new 5.11? just right of Mario's. I kept thinking the reachy move should be easier for an 11, and I burnt myself trying to find an easier way. No way. Tanya provided the long belay. My injured hand didn't like that route, so I started taking pictures.
