Kris sends Cave!

I'm soooo slooow at posting stuff. Anyways, a couple weekends ago, when it WASN'T continuously raining...Kris and I headed to the Wisco side of Taylors to both work on the cave traverse. It was pretty warm out, close to 80, and humid. I was working out the hard drop move in the middle to connect the two halves, and Kris was complaining about having forgotten his beta. He hadn't been to the boulder for over a year now. He'd been building our boulder wall from early July on, so he hadn't even been climbing for months. He'd only worked on cave a few times before, and was never that inspired by the line. But being that it is kinda the testpiece of Taylors, he worked it with me. After a few goes, we got his first half of the problem worked out. He was feeling a little more interested in working the problem now. My skin was peeling off, and we were both a bit tired, but he sat down at the start one last time. I grabbed my camera, just cuz something made me, and I caught his unexpected ascent. He was good and strong through the whole hard part of the problem. Then, once on the jugs, he started to pump out quick. But he held on and finished it. I was quite proud. I love it when the problems go unexpectedly, and you fight to stay with it. Good work Kris...the video is too big to post on Youtube right now, so until Neil can compress it for me, you'll all be held in suspense!
