Ride The Wild	Toprope	5.9	Sport	1 Pitch	50 ft

got a mid-morning invite from mike and fletch to climb at queen creek
have been to the mine area twice, mostly wandering around with johnr1 looking for something we could climb
started with ride the wild for a warm up
mike led, fletch and i followed on toprope
moved over one fin for two climbs that are rated 5.9 in marty's book
no one felt like leading, so mike set up a toprope on mary jane
i made it up with a couple of hangs
fletch was the only one of us who got this one cleanly
moved the rope over to grasping for straws
did great on the bottom section, but the top gave me fits
cannot say i climbed this under my own power; had a little help from my belayer :lol:

all of us struggled on this one
mountain project has these rated at 10b and 10c
thin face is not my strong suit
had fun trying the harder climbs and it was an absolutely beautiful day out there
packed up and headed home for pizza and super bowl
really need to climb on rock more often
