Redwing climbing

First outside climbing of the year. Me, Shawn. Redwing. Friday. Temps were probably near sixty, sunny. We warmed up on a 5.7, then did Sleeping Bat (5.10), then Shawn led Cyclops (5.11c) and I climbed it on toprope for the first time ever, and think I could lead it. Then Start of Something Good (5.12a). We tried this last year, and once again neither of us could do the start. But I can see how to do it. Then climbed the route that shares anchors with Start - also 5.12. Also very hard start, but excellent climbing. Then wandered back to Cyclops area and did Wasp Mentality (5.11c?) Start is very hard. Couldn't do it. Tired, sore fingers. Then finished on Forearm Smash (5.8) from Wasp anchors. Tired. Didn't really need that one last climb. I was dead sore for three days.
