Lost Child

On Saturday a decent crew consisting of Pete "former teen star" Alison, Jamie "my car just blew up" Vinton-Boot, Rachael "country music rules" Williams, James "I think I'll send a V9 today" Morris, and myself headed to Quantum field for a short sharp session of sendage.

After warming up at the horseshoe boulder we promptly started on a classic circut of V6's and V7's including One Move Boulder, Brine, Gripper, Kung-fu Mojo, Growler, and Cold Turkey. Quite wrapped about the number of ticks quickly accumulated I convinced the crew to jump on The Outcast (V8). While we were playing on this we heard a non-human-like noise that could best be described as a wailing banshee. "What the f**k was that!?", I loudly exclaimed. Pete instantly starting to wet himself with laughter as he was looking right at the source of the noise which was coming from an old Chinese lady (who was just out of my sight)! She seemed to be calling out for a lost child (either that or trying to find a mate!). It was one of the weirdest noises I've ever heard come out of a human esophagus. After we re-composed ourselves a handful more attempts that were getting me increasingly closer finally lead to the send. Rad!

With even more confidence now we tried to defeat some more old foes such as Monkey and the Magic Peach (V8), Inositol (V8), and Misfit(V7) The team's confidence quickly got shattered as we all repeatedly got the backhand on all three problems.

Not to be discouraged some time was then spent on Everythings Gone Green(V10), and Pete showed us a new problem he put up to the left of it called Boson(V7) which is a jump-start/one arm pull-up to some bad slopers then topping out over the adjacent boulder.

We met up with James later who was gleaming with joy as he had just sent Snake Eyes (V9). Nice one bro!
