  one of the best climbing days i've ever had. mid-afternoon was a quiet yeet (alley oop) with kate and liana. after that, tried the source a bit but abandoned it to hike out to this one. crossed some barbed wire, got lost, it got dark, finally found the rig. much taller than i expected, and with 2.5 pads it wasn't going to happen that night. did some exploratory goes to see if it was worth returning to and then..."WILL." mattias emerges from the dark; not surprising, as i had told him i was going to try it, and he was at into the void with some boys. i figured he was just hiking up to say hi until...one by one, seven headlamps emerge from the darkness behind him, each with a big organic. the seven dwarves had shown up to work, except they were all tall strong boys who were springy and ready to jump. within a few minutes the rig was ticked, spotlights were on, a double-stack landing was built, and techno was playing. sean, max, austin, and liam sent quickly—at one point, i think there were four sends within five cumulative attempts. only fabien and i were left. austin coached my hand position, mattias coached my pump, max coached my undulation. i had some good goes and then regressed, more good goes then regression. fabien sent, barely latching the jug. generously the boys waited even though the dinner bell had rung and WAGs were waiting at the homestead. i tried, not close. i tried again and feet slipped off the start holds before i even jumped. and then...my best jump by a mile and i easily latched the jug. hugs all around, i might have even shed a tear. a double-double in my dumb dyno outfit, surrounded by old friends and new. the support and psyche were outrageous——amazing day.
