Kids Redpointing

Today was a special day for Shawn and Brooke. We began our morning at 5:30am as Shawn's project is in the sun all day. Shawn has tried a 5.13- three time. Because it's in the sun we have to hike up to the climb in the evening, after 6pm. The other day I realized that his climb was in the shade until around 10am so we chose to wake up early. Shawn warmed up on the route and then he redpointed his first 5.13-! Later in the day we took Brooke to her project and she too sent her first 5.11+. The week before she redpointed her first 5.12- second try. Here is a photo.
