This weekend had first trad climbing experience outside of mountaineering routes
The rock was technically easy to climb, but a bit scary. Positive slope means falling to the last anchor will hurt a lot
Turns out I didn't know some essential things about building anchors (like the correct way to clip into self-equalizing anchor). Also lack of practice since the spring made me work way slower than I used to
But thanks to the great mountaineer leading our group we learned a lot in a single day, even practised with 6-8 types of anchors
..at the very end I chipped away a corn kernel sized piece of fingernail while hammering out some pitons in the dark ^~^
