Ruper, must have been 68 or 69. A pigeon flew out of the crack and nearly caused me to fall.

My partner (and mentor) went to Eldorado to do the bastille crack for my first Eldo climb (second trad climb), but as always, there was a long line. My partner sandbagged me to go up Werk Supp to March of Dimes, calling it a 5.8. (actually a 5.10c) Though I didn't lead that day, I was still flailing, as it was my first offwidth and first finger crack. Needless to say, it was the ass kicking I needed to get myself prepared to climb in Eldo.
