On Sunday we got an early start, targetting Ruby Wall, Center Route. Unfortunately we got offroute, Pavel took a whipper and we ended up bailing from about 1/3 of the way up. The rock was pretty horrible too, we knocked off two huge blocks, and had to garden some of the cracks... Needless to say, there is a lot more to the whole story. :)
