I also think the rock was loose/ flexible due to the sun warming it. Maybe we needed to do it before the rock warmed up??

Mr Mud, yes we must have done an early repeat since the top was all moss. We did fine those nice holds with a little digging.

Brad, this was on par with Pipeloads. But way longer.

Electric Blue does sound nice.

No sense of Measure...talked to a buddy who tried it a year or so back and he said it's hard! He also asked if the bolts on Shake and Bake were replaced...guess not.
I'm not worthy.

Electric blue had one loose flexor hold but was otherwise technical and fun when I TR'd it with Brad and I think maybe Jim Lundeen was there or maybe Mr Mud?

Brad,

Maybe you should mention the 40' boltless section on Lithium.  I know that everyone hates to use the word "runout", but it's pretty sketch.  You would deck if you fell close to the anchor and that rock quality is less than spectacular.

My buddy followed me on it about 7 years ago and got within 8' of the belay when I said, "I wouldn't pull on...[dope]".  He grabbed a block that was roughly the size and shape of a football with both hands.  It split in half and he fell backwards holding the two football halves in his hands.  The look on his face was priceless.   
Kind of like  :-\ then ??? then :-[ then :o    My look was like :D
