Felix Wong being lowered after Farewell to Arms.

Cragmont, CA

Brent and I climbed in the afternoon at Cragmont in Berkeley this afternoon. In addition to doing 3 or 4 climbs (of which the highlight was the 5.10a “Farewell to Arms, which we both could not do cleanly), we practiced doing some rapelling. Unfortunately Brent banged up his knee pretty badly during the latter. Afterwards we headed down to Hi-Tech Burrito to munch on some burritos with “nuclear sauce,” which is usually super hot but not this time.
