Breakfast of Champions, minus the green eggs

Sarah & I went to Hammond Pond the other day while spending an afternoon in the city. Hadn't sessioned there in years. Sarah bouldered for the 1st time since tearing here ACL at Lincoln Woods. She didn't do anything that she was likely to fall off, but it was great to building up the confidence. I think our strong bouldering days are really behind both of us. After warming up on the Wolverine wall, which my dorky self names the small out of the way rock with 3 cracks that I like to warm up on, I spotted Sma on a boulder near the Atrium. Then she went over to do a bit of shopping while I joined a group of guys in the Atrium. I felt old. There was really only one guy burning the rest of us off the rock, but he was a good guy. The best spotter of the bunch in fact. He was actually one of the few folks I've seen actually crank out the Whale (V7). I was satisfied getting Breakfast of Champions. I remember having to work that problem so long. Sitting across from it meditating on the moves. I got it 2nd go this time, missing the first go when I was afraid of not having a spotter (the dudes were all still at the whale). I couldn't pull Green Eggs & Ham (or is it Hammond Eggs) to the left, which sort of bummed me out, but didn't really surprise me. I'm a weekend warrior now. I'm going to do another set up pushups now...
