Walking up to the rock I felt giddy with anticipation! It felt like an eternity since I'd last tied in.

...frothed down the sides of the glasses, forming a pool of green soda and half-melted ice cream on the top of the laminex table that had mysteriously materialized. Fortunately, Mike Law was sitting across the table and loaned me a cloth to soak up the mess. As I mopped it up, he handed me a silent partner and said...

So I locked off one handed with my fingers torqued in the nearest pin scar, laying back hard to keep my feet in the classic Steve Monks stemming corner pose for Onsight, and got on my mobile phone with the other hand.
I was going to call Alex Honner for advice, but his phone wasn't answering. It was then a toss up between ooo or Edslab, both equally useless to a climber with initiative but without phone reception, and probably why Alex didn't answer. I was fading fast and knew I had to..
