I have unfinished business with the Rostrum. I tried it a few years ago with my buddy Hunter, and after leading the first four pitches clean, I fell following the fifth pitch and dislocated my finger. We made the rap-of-shame back to the mid point and walked off.
A couple days after our NIAD attempt, Kenny and I decided to give it a shot. I was still pretty worked, and Kenny, as usual, was overstoker. So, I did the responsible thing and let him lead the entire route. He crushed, falling only on the 7th pitch because of an unlucky foot slip. I made it through my previous high point clean, but fell on pitches 6 and 7.
We were also super stoked to get the beta from B-Rad to bring a #6 Camalot for the last pitch. Packing it up all the way was annoying, but doing that pitch without the green monster would have been way too much for either one of us. Thanks Brad!
