Thanks ladies and gentlemen! I'm usually not one to push self on lead, but today, everything just seemed to click in place. The follow of Tailspin was coincidental. Two guys from North Bay (Zach and Mike) showed up at the Monolith and we shared the rock. When Mike said he would not be following Zach up Tailspin, I volunteered. Always glad to help out.
But what made me most happy was when I heard Mr. Mud say to the guys that he might consider joining the (climbing) gym once his shoulder recovered better because he saw how gym climbing had helped me.
Edit: Despite currently working out of North Bay, Zach (along with his wife) runs
Rock Odysseys Climbing Guides out of Utah.
