I should add, too that my 13 year old, Katie led Corona ( I should say waltzed up Corona). Two years ago she tried to lead it and got a little off route. Freaked her out and she lowered. So, we thought she'd have no problem this time. We got to the base and she almost refused to climb it - it looked too easy! after Laura talked her into a realistic view of things, she strolled it (and looked like she was having great fun). All in front of her BFF, who we then put on toprope and who did Corona as her first climbing ever, also with no issues.
Yesterday was a really good day.
