God was good on groundhog day this year and allowed things to finally work out. Devin Farkas and I swapped leads on Power Play today--one of my goals before the end of the season (now the goal is to get on it again). I led the first 180' to the terrace and Devin took the last 40'--the money pitch. Then it was on to Rhiannon which has formed nicely from bottom to top. I was on that in December, but it was good climb again in less delicate conditions--nice lead by Devin. Good to see Don Mellor today a well :)
