Exit 38 - Rat Face +

A toasty warm stretch in Seattle afforded us the opportunity to hit the local crag and take a run on what I think is one of the more fun routes off of the trestle, Rat Face. It is a little longer than most 38 routes and gets up some overhanging rock. Gaby blew the crux but figured it out eventually. After rapping off we headed over to another corner to do a few more routes we haven't climbed. Later that weekend we also spent a day up on Valley View West cranking out some harder stuff and Gaby learned about short roping me. It was quite a desperate clip and it made me pump out to have her play with sorting a rope that got caught around a twig as I was anxiously hoping for some slack. Nothing serious happened but it was a run out section and had bad potential. Overall this area is quiet but has a bit of an approach for the offerings.
