Leavenworth: Hit or Miss II

Cotton Pony Pointer(almost) from Jimmy C. on Vimeo.

Well, on Sunday David and I completed our second day trip to Leavenworth. Warming up in forestland and once again seeing Johnny who stayed and said the weather was fine, we deciced to stay next time around. This time around it seemed everyother problem from Friday was dry. Luckily for David Back Door Ass Attack Low V8 was dry. This line had been a long term project of his and after a couple minutes of chalkin' and scrubin' to help dry the little dampness left, he sent!
Next up was another search for dry rock, with both Angolina and Turbulance being soaked it was back to Beautification V11? With some new beta I slipped off the finish rail once again and decided till wait till spring to come back and (hopefully) send this cool looking line. After a quick stop at Pretty Boy V7 (finally), we headed back up Canyon to Twisted Tree V7 where Jeremy made amazing progress, coming so close to sending, but slipping just short of the victory crimp!
The day was winding down and I decided to stop at the Cotton Pony Pointer, a line i had checked out earlier. After a couple 'I can do this burns' I linked the start to the big throw. Next burn my hand slipped of the razor sharp crimp and the onset of pain became everpresent after each successive burn. The best burn was sooo close but the body tension gave out! The vid is of two good burns(filmed on Jeremy's camera) spliced together.
On the way home, kinda cool. Next stop BISHOP!
