Here is my score card for the last four hour segment (6am-10am on Sunday):

Mei, did you send 40 .11c's in 4 hours, after 20 straight hours of climbing? Or am I reading that card wrong?

That is absolutely fiendish. Well done and here's one vote for the full TR!

I suppose I owe you an explanation. Here is the story that accompanied that score card:

40 11c's in 4 hours? That is climbing a 11c every 6 minutes. Holy moly thats fitness.

Actually, quite lame. 28, not 40. Sorry for not making that clear the first time around.

Mei, that is totally amazing! Congratulations to you both. I seriously don't think I could stay awake for 24 hours, let along climb.

Oh I miss PG Belmont, PGSF and PG Sunnyvale. But more than that I miss seeing the great Bay Area folks there, esp Renee.

Hey, that's almost insulting! ;)

Of course, it needs to be a clean ascent to count. And you are not supposed to be pulled up by the belayer either. Isn't that common sense?
