Division 1 '09

STEEP was the key word of the comp at Pipe Works in Sacramento CA. Divisionals for the 09 SCS were held here and it was a fun an exciteful weekend. Day one qualifiers I flashed the first problem which was a little overhanging but a delicate crimp ladder. The second problem was balancy for three clips then went up this steep roof to a head wall. I fell at the head wall just at the lip, pumped from the first route and all the jug pulling! I qualified 5th for finals. Lisa and Victoria(VW) flashed both their qualifiers and tied for first for finals. Finals were held on the following day. The male Juniors route went up a steep headwall and was peppered with crimps. I pumped out a hold below where the majority made it and placed 7th in finals and 5th overall. Scott Corry flashed every problem, 5.12a, 5.12c, 5.13c! Lisa and Victoria both flashed their final route and went into a superfinal where Victoria inched ahead by three holds! Lisa came away with the Silver and we are headed to Nationals in Salt Lake City in mid July(with LOTS of bouldering on the way home)
