Route #37, climbing by headlamp after we ran out of daylight.

We went for the bouldering record at Sisters Boulders in Oregon, National Grasslands, on Friday, June 9th (46 problems in one day), and we SUFFERED…our goal was 50.

I teamed up with Phil Morton because he’s an incredible climber, and I knew he would work hard. But it’s summer, and we had to deal with the heat. It was 95 degrees when we started climbing at 6:11 PM on problem #1.
