climbing meets knitting

Bouldering in the Niagara Glen wearing my silk/cashmere Halfdome hat:

I never know where I am in the Glen, so I don't know what problem this is. I think it's a V3. Sit-start, traversing left to the big flake, then big throw to the top. Big as in many-times-falling-down kind of big throw. Very fun send, though. These pictures are the middle part of the problem. It makes me laugh how not-far the move between the first and second pictures looks... in person it looked miles away!

Many thanks to Yuval for the pictures!
